Siya Kolisi and Felix Jones - Ireland in Dublin
Loading player...
The Springboks are preparing for what could be a season-shaping Test on Saturday when they meet Ireland in Dublin. Both teams understand the significance of this clash for their seasons.
It’s the first time since July last year that these two giants of the game will clash, and the Irish will feel confident after beating the Wallabies 46-19 a week earlier, while in their last meeting with the Springboks they edged a 25-24 win at Kings’ Park in Durban. Supporters on both sides expect an intense and tightly contested encounter.
Springbok captain Siya Kolisi said there is a reason they haven’t beaten the Irish in the Land of Saints and Scholars for more than 12 years, and they are preparing for another gruelling contest against a team that usually manages to fire itself up much like the South Africans.
