Welcome to this live broadcast dedicated to the match between South Africa and Ireland. After having played their rugby against Romania (76-0), but struggled slightly against Scotland (18-3), the Springboks, current holders of the world title, will have the heavy task of overthrowing an Irish XV – undefeated for sixteen matches – that nothing seems to frighten anymore.
