Watch highlights from today's Rugby World Cup meeting of Japan and Ireland in Shizuoka:
"I felt we played well in the first quarter. We got out to a 12-3 lead and we stopped playing, to a degree," admitted Joe Schmidt following the 19-12 defeat to Japan.
"It was pretty difficult. We probably fell on the wrong side of the penalty count. Three or four of them were for offsides and we felt were pretty tough and I do feel they could've gone either way, particularly with some of theirs as well.
"It just gave them the front foot and they didn't button off. Congratulations to Japan. What a furious, intense effort it was. We knew that that was potentially coming. We're incredibly disappointed that we didn't manage to control the end of the game but they're a tremendous side. They did really well and congratulations to them."

Congratulations to the Japanese team and head coach Jamie Joseph. They made history with Japan's first win over Ireland in eight Test meetings.
It is another Rugby World Cup giant-killing for the Brave Blossoms, adding to their shock victory over South Africa at the last tournament four years ago in England.
The last couple of phases saw Japan knock on in contact. Ireland, back close to their try-line, opted to kick the ball dead through Carbery past the 80-minute mark. They take a losing bonus point from a very tough night at the office.

Huge disappointment for Ireland. A massive shock result for Japan as they secure a 19-12 win. It was well deserved on their second half performance with replacement Fukuoka's 58th-minute try proving crucial.
Ireland look static on the ball, they were not making many metres. Then an interception from Fukuoka suddenly has Japan on the cusp of a second try. Earls brings him down just in front of the Irish posts. Brilliant from the Limerick man, but he knocks on in his efforts to win the ball back.
Scrum to Japan, five metres out from the Irish line. Just less then three minutes left.
Japan are making their tackles, keeping Ireland in their own half. But they are slow to roll away and Carbery finds touch from the penalty. Cronin with a lineout on the hosts' 10-metre line.
Ireland need a converted try to draw with Japan. The Brave Blossoms now have a 19-12 lead following that well-struck penalty from Tamura.
Looking like a nightmare conclusion for Ireland. Japan attack from deep, the passes are sticking and Ireland look tired as they retreat. Beirne and Murray leak successive penalties and Tamura will have a shot at goal.
Things just aren't going Ireland's way at the moment. Labuschagne appears to interfere with Murray at the back of a ruck. No penalty awarded by referee Gardner, play continues and Murray is whistled up for a forward pass.
Kearney has to come off. Luke McGrath, the last Irish replacement, comes on as a winger. Stockdale shifts to full-back with Jordan Larmour in the centre.
Tadhg Beirne is on and makes an immediate impact, ripping the ball away at a Japanese maul.
A much-needed penalty brings Ireland back into the Japanese 22. The lineout is won by replacement Rhys Ruddock, the forwards carry closer to the line with Stander gaining good ground.
Ryan is isolated, though, and Japan win a relieving penalty. A big missed opportunity there, in front of the posts. Still plenty of time for Ireland to strike.
Change at out-half for Ireland as Joey Carbery enters the fray. Porter is also back on.
Tamura adds a terrific conversion despite Earls' attempt to block him down. Japan with a 16-12 and a fascinating final quarter lies ahead.
Japan take the lead here in Shizuoka and the crowd are loving it! Replacement Kenki Fukuoka gets over in the left corner from a floated pass. Their high-tempo play and quick recycling pays dividends.
Leitch knocks on under pressure from Farrell and Stockdale. Ireland with a scrum in their own 22 and a chance to clear. Stander connects with Farrell but it is accidental offside. Japan with the scrum this time.
