The peak of intensity and fight between the world’s leading nation and the reigning champions did not disappoint. Thanks to extremely rough and aggressive defense, Ireland brought down South Africa (13-8) on Saturday September 23 in Saint-Denis. At the end of a clash of a much higher level than the score reflects, the XV of Clover contained the Springboks to take a big option on first place in group B. Betrayed by the four failures at the foot of its scorers despite the canes of its three quarters, South Africa has a good chance of finishing second and finding the Blues in the quarter-finals.
