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.

Paas pienaar.
sy naam is juan en hy is n yster!!!!!!!!
Strong Bokke scrum!!
Die game is lekker oop. As hulle vir Lambie op bring sal hy die Iera uit mekaar jaag.
amper verstik ek in my branas.nice jaun.
Solid Bokke game so far….
Good mauling by the Bokke… and Stegmann is playing well so far….
@69 Stem saam. Bokke lyk beter as wat ek verwag het, Even Stegman lyk goed.
Penalty Ireland, Juan… and gets marched 10m… they’ll kick for posts
Naand.
Bokke lyk goed, hul moet net so aanhou.
Missed…. heeee haaaaaaaa
Die iere is heeltemal van hulle game af, ons moet hulle jaag nou en nie kans gee om terug te kom nie.
Gio solid at the back….
daaar is ons swak plek
smaak my die ireland het gedink die game is gewen in die media.aka mr gatland.
Penalty… in front of the kicker…. this one surely the Irish will slot.
Bokke 10 / 3
skop die bal weg en siedaar 3 teen ons
Basson moet begin defend saam met die span.
Pienaar vat te lank om die bal uit te bring. Bring vir Hougaard op.
Eishhhhhh, such good continuity, then we give a penalty away…
dit kos drie manne om juan te keer
Nice work, Zane!
Ons wings is honger, spry bietjie die bal wyd.
kon nou bokke nog n drie,dit sal die ireland knak.
