Bismarck du Plessis has warned that talk around South Africa’s recent record against Ireland will only fire up the Springboks for the two-Test series.
The last time the juggernauts met was at the 2023 World Cup where Ireland came away 13-8 winners in a tight group stage clash to extend their current streak over South Africa to three wins.Saturday’s Test at Loftus Versfeld marks the first clash on South African soil since 2016, with the Boks looking to get their first victory over Ireland since then.
“Also, Leinster, which contains 90% of Ireland’s squad, recently lost to the Bulls in the semi-final of the United Rugby Championship at Loftus. “Test rugby is a different beast, and Ireland are a team that retain possession well and put the opposition under great pressure by repeatedly taking the ball through a number of phases.
