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

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

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.

The kiss of death

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

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?

Euro cheaters I tell ya

Lively start by Ireland.

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

Boks scores. PSDT outstanding in the build-up.

That's Rugby, folks.

Great play by the Boks!

Ireland 0 Boks 5.

Forward pass….

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

Great break by James Lowe.
Breathless start.

Sasha could be in trouble

TMO review coming

YC incoming?

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

It's not that bad IMO

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

6mins before we get first TMO

Penalty, no YC is my call.

Red Card for me, horrendous tackling "technique"

And the refs. Good call.

Ireland go for the corner.

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

Very good goal line defence by the Boks. I hope the ABs are taking notes.

Never looked rattled SA during that defensive effort

Rugby in 2025.

Great atmosphere.

Surely not? Springboks dropped two high balls.

But they are the bestest ever…

gawd the Irish players appeal a lot

And crowd.

Its like a Punch and Judy show.

As a traditionalist, love the Oirish changing their jersey.

Ireland go for goal.

He's hit the posts.

Ireland 0 Boks 5. 20 minutes gone.

Tadgh Beirne goes over, but it's going to the TMO because of a Ryan clear out that looked a bit dodgy.

This ref is pretty solid. But the fact he has so much influence further highlights everything that is wrong with the game.

More TMO

Dumb by Ryan

That's going to be ruled out and perhaps a YC.
