Just another know it all - you know nothing about me. Thats a poor comment from yourself. Im actually looking forward to this game.

World Champions South Africa and Six Nations Champions Ireland do battle in the first of two test matches. Head to head these sides have met on 28 occasions, with the Springboks winning 18 to the nine by Ireland to go along with a single draw. Ireland has won eight of the last 12 encounters. The last meeting between the teams saw Ireland edge it 13-8 at the 2023 Rugby World Cup, however it would be the Springboks who went on to claim a record fourth world Cup title.
