Ireland (6) 21 / Springboks (13) 23 (Final Score)
Ireland hosted the Springboks at Aviva Stadium, Landsdowne Road, Dublin at 19:30 SA Time. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 and M-Net on TV in SA.
The Springboks forwards were monsterous and they dominated the first half and most of the set pieces.
The Irish came back strongly in the last 20 minutes and a comedy off errors by Sppringbok players nearly made the Irish comeback complete.
Well done to the Springboks though, a win I did not foresee!
3 / 0 for the Southern Hemisphere on the day.

Hi bdb, kwaai …hoegannit met jou?
329: hoe sal jou span lyk vir Wallis ?
329@ Scrumdown:
The thing is… there was balance in the loosies… a true opensider, a true blindsider… and for a change Spies was a true solid No 8.
Stegmann never does the spectacular… he grafts on the inside, on the quiet… like a Ruben Kruger or a Thys Lourens…
I watched his play with interest, because I played there myself… at openside.
I was more than happy with his debut… part of a monsterous forwards effort.
If you change ONE forward, you would be doing injustice to the whole pack performance!
@ Scrumdown:
I dont know what to say, the pack did well so Stegman did his bit, but yes he was not spectacular. But there was n lot of players who put up their names, Stegman comes of a long injury , i was surprised he lasted so well.
GBS, Aangesien ek alleen sit sonder Jaegermeister of Red Bull, en aangesien ek more moet gaan werk op n bloedig warm site in die warm son, hoop ek dat die JaegerBombs jou aanval op so ‘n manier dat jy more babalas het tot ek huis toe kom in die laat middag.
(Miskien sal Manie ook ‘n LP word by die volgende verkeising!)
Enjoy. Ek is jalours.

Cheers Super. Stem saam.
Kaptein Morgan besig om my oe op t vok!
Nou soek die kat ook kos! Vlok maar n Leeu ondersteuner se lewe is maar moelik.
Nag almal. Goodnight all.
331: goed, bly die bokke het goed gedoen onder moeilike omstandighede.
329: Stegmann was stillerig, maar vir ‘n debut was dit goed genoeg en het hy goed ingeskakel by die res van die pak.
Op 23-10 moes ons die game weggevat het van hulle af……maar n wen is wen.
Jammer my internet was af gister, kon nie saam met julle gesels.
Lekker Sondag verder almal, hoop ons wen die grand slam vanjaar.
The Irish were piss poor in the 1st half.
Total domination by Bok pack.
Spies remains the weakest link in the pack. He should have dominated yesterday but was decidedly average.
Time to bring Alberts in – love to see the go forward the boks get with him, Juan, Bissie and Beast carrying the ball up.
