South Africa v Ireland RECAP | World Cup

READERS’ FORUM: Welcome to our live coverage of the World Cup Pool B match between South Africa and Ireland at Stade de France in Saint-Denis.

The match presents us with two of the most iconic teams at the global showpiece – the world’s top-ranked team, Ireland, against the defending and three-time champions South Africa.

It is, without doubt, the most anticipated match since the opening round – when hosts France dismissed three-time former champions New Zealand 27-13 at the same venue.

The men from the Emerald Isle come into the match on a 15-match winning streak – which includes a victory over the Springboks last November and a Six Nations Grand Slam this year.
