If the Springboks can cut out their unmitigated filth for once, they'll steamroll the Irish.

Seriously though, they're playing attractive rugby with confidence and squad depth. Should be a two score difference at the end.

@antipodean yeah not expecting this to be close.

If Ireland win the aerial battle this will be tasty.

Think SA are the best side in the world, think Ireland are on a slide from their peak, think therefore SA should win. But i have a funny feeling about this one and think Ireland might just get up and win

OomPB

The Irish will need to start quick. The Boks bom squad can be the difference. No locks on the Irish bench.

W32

SFM to cut Pendergast or whatever his name is, in half. Rassie giving the old firm of de allende and kriel last chance to set the record straight

OomPB

We may get a surprise. Ireland's aerial game is good, maybe a bit more running, testing their defense. Look like they will get par scrumtime but when the bom squad get on I think they will struggle to get possession.

Somewhat disrespectful ...but yeah, he looks rather fragile.

He’s had a few shockers. A bit like Pillock in that he’s pretty sure he’s all that. Wait that’s not true lately. Sam P has grown on me a bit

You’re like Murray Mexted in that respect. Savant like

The Irishman

Can't see anything other than a Boks victory. SA by 10-12.

Kick off in five minutes. Boks the big favourite if you ask me.

Kolisi must be one of the worst singers on Rugby fields, which isn't that important, but had to mention after that performance

Passion is his thing. In tune not so much

sparky

The game is about to get under way five minutes late.

Honestly, what's with all this bollocks before starting? Is that Bono's son singing Zombie?

W32

Euro cheaters I tell ya

sparky

Lively start by Ireland.

sparky

I don't like either of these teams much, but Ireland have a few Kiwis in their side so go them!

sparky

Boks scores. PSDT outstanding in the build-up.

sparky

That's Rugby, folks.

Great play by the Boks!

sparky

Ireland 0 Boks 5.

ACT Crusader

Forward pass….

Jailbreak7

See, why can't we play like tbat good front foot ball, the pack steam rollering over everything that stands and support players always on the shoulder

sparky

Great break by James Lowe.
Breathless start.

Sasha could be in trouble

ACT Crusader

TMO review coming

sparky

YC incoming?

ACT Crusader

Not sure who these commentators are, but they are at their cheerleading best

JayCee

It's not that bad IMO

I'm listening on Radio Ulster. Balanced and impartial they are not.

6mins before we get first TMO

sparky

Penalty, no YC is my call.

Tordah

Red Card for me, horrendous tackling "technique"

sparky

And the refs. Good call.

sparky

Ireland go for the corner.

Noisy Dublin crowd. Many of who will have been in the pub for most of the afternoon.
