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.

Bokke 23 / 21
We will grind out a win like bobby said
Brings back memories of the first test against the Lions last year. We were then too well in the lead and then almost half the team were taken off. Same here. Why CHANGE so many all at once?????????????????????????
Penalty Bokke… come on, kick it out and maul from the lineout!
2 min left
Need Frans Steyn at FB next week.
@ grootblousmile:Boks gonna give me a ulcer.
This will be heart breaking if we lose.
Don’t concede a penalty… just don’t!!
Time is up….. come on hooter….
Bokke winnnnnnnnnnn…. by 2 points…
Die bokke was baie lucky. Maar een ding is verseker. Kirchner & Jacobs mag nooit weer Springbok speel nie.
Amper weer verloor met al die sub veranderings.
I have a hat to eat…. hope I find a smallllll one…. hehehe
Can’t be happier though!!
Bismark’s face tells the story, what i late fightback by Ireland , they nearly gave me a heart attack
Congratulations you Saffas. Your boys did not exactly wipe the floor with the Paddy’s tho!!
Dit was close,maar wen is wen.jacobs is soos jorrie mulder,pateties!
We win thank goodness for that. A win is a win but really should never have been this close. Defence almost cost us really bad in the end.
pdv….wat dink jy?????? Morne morne morne morne…… Francois nog op die bench na die game?????
bokke wen ten spyte van kak afrigting kak subs kak senters in die laaste 20 kak spel deur kirsner kak besluite deur die ref gelukkig was ons vaste vyf vol ysters ek sidder om te dink as soeper doeper scalk en fransie flou da was,ek skat ons kan se dankie vir vic bakkies juan biss beast jannie spies steggies cj en daniel,sonder hulle het ons gesink
@ Blue Bird:Nope but we should have. Plenty mistakes almost cost us the game.
Need Frans Steyn for next week.
Zane speel teen die wereld se beste senterpaar en doen bleddie goed en dan die stront hier. Ag flok manne gee eer waar dit toekom. Gio het net daardie laaste skop goed gevang maar hy was heeltyd uit posisie. Zane het sy drie met n goeie pass gemaak. Komaan boys kyk bietjie met oop oe.
@ Puma:
Hey Pumes….Divvy talks so quickly I can hardly understand him, mind you bet half of your countryman can’t understand the Scottish interviewer!!
Well… it’s a win…
Our defence went pear when the backline subs came on…. specially when Jean was subbed.
Under the circumstances, Zane who is not a center, contained D’Arcy and O’Driscoll…. apart from one badddd fumble near the end.
Ek kan nie glo al daai subs het opgekom nie
Weereens gewen ten spyte van ons coach
@super hoeveel tackles het zane gemis,maar by gese hy het hom nie self gekies nie ,maar as jy daar is kan jou afrigter jou nie nog versuip deur adie liefie op te sit nie
toe jacobs opkom toe val die standaard total.ek hoop maar regte senters kry n kans volgende week.swak,swak subs deur snor.
260: stem met jou saam super. Zane kies homself nie daar nie, en behalwe vir een of twee slegte foute, het hy OK gedoen. Ek hoor niemand byt Lambie se kop af oor daardie mis skop nie.
Almal het goed gespeel onder omstandighede, ook Aplon wat uit posisie moes speel.
Meeste ouens was negatief, maar ons het gewen.
kan ons nie vir snor sub nie?
@ smallies72:
Gaan soek jy dit maar ek gaan nie 80 minute kyk om dalk een te soek nie. Gio was swak op sy posisionele spel, Zane sou meer werd gewees het daar. Maar nou ja n hartaanval wen maar nog steeds n wen
Volgende week, sal ek vir Zane op heelagter sit, FS en JDV die senterpaar, FH op skrummie, die pak kan net so bly.
Ons vaste vyf was skitterend, en Juan en Spies was goed met bal in hand.
laat ons maar die wen geniet,dit nie iets wat ons bok fans gereeld kry nie.
