[+[!LIVESTREAM!]+] Springboks vs Ireland Live FREE On TV Friendlies Rugby 13 July 2024

South Africa emerged on top from a crazy contest against Ireland in Pretoria as the World Cup winners marked their homecoming with victory in the first Test of a potentially thrilling series.

The Springboks secured their first win over Ireland in eight years at Loftus Versfeld, with their bench impactful in a contest punctuated by a serious injury to Ireland scrum half Craig Casey. After a long delay, Cheslin Kolbe pounced on a James Lowe error to put the hosts in control, with a late shove-over scrum score engineered by South Africa’s Bomb Squad sealing the win despite a late Irish rally.

Lowe had earlier been denied by a tight call from the television match official having seemingly put Ireland in front in the second half. Ireland, however, were deemed to have infringed at the breakdown prior to Lowe’s canter up the left touchline, with referee Luke Pearce chalking the score off.

It means Andy Farrell’s side will head to Durban next week down 1-0 in the two-Test series and hoping to hit back after an encounter that delivered on the spite and spice anticipated as two familiar foes re-ignited their rivalry.

Ireland take on South Africa in their second Test after a bruising 27-20 defeat to the world champions in Pretoria.

The Springboks have named an unchanged side and know that Andy Farrell's men have their backs against the wall.

Ireland are still without Hugo Keenan, Jamison Gibson-Park, Jack Conan and Iain Henderson. In Gibson-Park’s absence and with Craig Casey also out, Connacht scrum-half Caolin Blade is likely to be promoted and add to his two caps.

There is solace for Farrell however, as Garry Ringrose played superbly in the second half after a tough first half and is slated to start in the centre this weekend.
