PRETORIA - It’s D-day for the Springboks and Ireland who meet at a sold-out Loftus Versfeld later today.
The encounter is the Springboks’ first home game since clinching a back-to-back world cup title in France in October.
But, that tournament saw them lose a bitter defeat to the Irish. In fact, the number one team in the world were last victorious over the second ranked team in the world, Ireland, eight years ago.
