South Africa return to action on home soil for the first time since securing back-to-back World Cup triumphs as they take on Ireland in the first Test of a potentially thrilling series.
The Springboks are back under the direction of Rassie Erasmus after Jacques Nienaber’s departure and warmed up for an encounter with the Six Nations winners with a strong win over Wales at Twickenham.
Ireland are missing a couple of key figures in Hugo Keenan and Jamison Gibson-Park for the two-Test tour but will travel with confidence having won their last three meetings with their hosts, including during the pool stages of last year’s World Cup.
But Andy Farrell’s side will expect a hostile reception with the two sides trading barbs in the build-up to the renewal of a rivalry that has grown in spite and spice in recent years.

Beautifully done. A lovely start from the tee from Jack Crowley to get Ireland on the board.

A second penalty against South Africa, and this one is kickable. Jack Crowley will line up the posts from around about the ten-metre – distance won’t be an issue at altitude.

Loose again from Kwagga Smith. A second spill of the first 11 minutes and Kurt-Lee Arendse then compounds the error by tripping over Smith. Ireland’s penalty.

Handre Pollard skuds a kick through but James Lowe has it handled, dotting down to earn a goal line drop out. Ireland’s defensive set was much better there, not getting too narrow as for this opening score.

An early advantage for Ireland at scrum time, but Kwagga Smith wisely takes the pot off the boil and scurries away. That’s some clearance from Cheslin Kolbe, too, showing off his big right boot.
And to make it even better, it had just brushed Jamie Osborne’s fingers before tumbling into touch. South Africa gain all of 60 metres.

Knocked on! Ireland go route one and then try to vary the angle, Caelan Doris peeling back on the diagonal but met well by two hulking South Africans. Peter O’Mahony’s flick off the floor is then fumbled by a carrying Joe McCarthy – and there are our first handbags, players from both sides pushing and jawing at one another.

Advantage coming, and a second penalty, too, both for offside. Can Ireland find the right play? No, Jesse Kriel tumbles in to Craig Casey and knocks the scrum half off his feet as he looks to pass. Nothing untoward.
Ireland will tap quickly!

A peculiar error from the normally rock solid Kwagga Smith, losing track of Jack Crowley’s restart and knocking on inside his own. An excellent shot at an immediate reply for Ireland.

1720278483TRY! SOUTH AFRICA 7-0 Ireland (Kurt-Lee Arendse, 3 minutes)
Magnificent from Kurt-Lee Arendse! He’s just so tricky to get to grips with, all flashing feet and fancy flicks. Siya Kolisi puts him away up the left and Jamie Osborne is left sliding clutching at thin air as Arendse does him with his hips, strutting beneath the posts to go in untouched. Handre Pollard adds the two.
