South Africa – Ireland: Relive the superb Irish victory against the Springboks (13-8)

11 p.m.: Come on, let’s head to the press conference and the mixed zone. Good evening rugby players!

10:55 p.m. : We witnessed a match of an exceptional level, rucks of rare violence. We wouldn’t like to be in the place of the neurons of the players of the two teams. It was pads on pads for 80 minutes

10:50 p.m.: The last ball carried by the South Africans will have come up against the flawless defense of the Irish. The referee whistles a final foul against the Springboks and releases the Irish supporters, who are jubilant. The stadium sings Zombie by The Cranberries it’s crazy

80th: IT’S WIN FOR IRELAND!!

79th: Only one minute left, South Africa gives everything, Ireland defends heroically. This fight was fabulous until the end. The South Africans will look for one last touch!

77th: +3 POINTS FOR IRELAND! Victory is near! We are heading towards a France-Afsud

76th: The following scrum is sanctioned with a penalty against the South Africans. It comes at just the right time for Ireland, who have the opportunity to kill the match

74th : Oh Crowley trying the drop! Bold

73rd : OH THE MONSTROUS IRISH SCRATCH! The Springboks cornered after this counter, but where do these Irish people get their resources from? Stade de France pushes, pushes, pushes for another Irish try

72nd : Sexton gives way to Crowley and is given a standing ovation by the Stade de France, finally the Stade d’ Ireland

71st : Well, that doesn’t work either! The key is not straight

71st : New penalty for South Africa which will seek the penalty. Guys don’t even bother to try kicking anymore

70th : Snyman’s improbable breakthrough to gain the Springboks 30 meters, but at the end of the action Du Toit messes up when releasing the ball along the touchline. He holds his head in his hands, and there is reason

68th : Nice Irish scrape but there is still a South African to succeed in a kamikaze counter at the feet and avoid the long game. What stifling pressure!

66th : The Irish make more and more mistakes, this time it’s a forward, the ball is returned to the Springboks.

65th: New penalty obtained, this time it’s De Klerk who takes it. AND FAILS AGAIN! The South Africans are completely derailed at the foot, it’s embarrassing

64th: LIBBOK NEXT! It’s insufficient, very insufficient what the South Africans are offering at the foot, still 10-8

62nd : Obviously, don’t mess around, Ireland won a scrum, it’s already too much in the eyes of the Springboks who get the ball back on the next one

60th : Oh the South African forward on a long sequence, just when it was getting interesting. The Irish are blowing. Scrum for the Irish, Willemse is FURAX

57th: Ireland gets back in front thanks to Johnny Sexton. 10-8 for Ireland, South Africa can bite their fingers for not having seized their opportunities against the poles

56th: OH THE EVENT, Ireland winning a scrum and obtaining a penalty. Another event, Sexton will take the points!

54th : The South African coach was burned for his bench in 7-1, but I have the impression that his team will gain an irremediable physical advantage thanks to that. I feel the Irish are less frisky since the restart

52nd: And still this musty kicking game from the South Africans who only lead 8-7. No transformation

51st: The South African machine is launched, the scrum is monstrous, De Klerk’s launch perfect, Alende with the pass, Kolbe with the conclusion, it was too fast!

50th: ESSSSSAIIII BY CHESLIN KOLBEEE

47th : JAMES LOWE WHO RAISES ETZEBETH PARDOOOOON? This CRAZY tackle! MADNESS! BAAAAAAAH IRISH SUPPORTERS EXULT

45th: IT HITS THE BAR BUT THE SUDAFS RECOVER THE REBOUND! Where are we? At Staples Center?

45th : Ah, finally a South African scratch on an Irish sequence. It’s rare to see the XV du Trèfle make a mistake. De Klerk will take the points in the 50m

43rd : Ireland puts pressure on South Africa from the start by looking for touches in the 22

41st : The South Africans put on pressure from the start but the referee whistles a penalty against the Springboks in the Irish 22m. Surprising at the moment

41st: GO FOR THE 2ND PERIOD!

9:50 p.m. : Well, I’ll have a drink at the Stade de France cafeteria and I’ll come back. Shall I bring you something, Minutos?

40th: HALF-TIME AT THE STADE DE FRANCE! Ireland quite rightly leads 7-3 and will have been right to insist on touches rather than taking the points. The second half promises, we will see if the Irish can last at this pace, while avoiding the attacks of the South African heavyweights

39th : The Irish defend perfectly, superb contest, nothing passes for the South Africans!

37th : It’s falling apart a little, we feel that half-time is near. There is more space. What if these last minutes of the first period went a little peanuts?

34th: It’s transformed, and the match is definitely on. 7-3 for Ireland

33rd: OOOOOH THE IRISH TRY BUT WHAT IS THIS MAGIC WAND SHOT FROM SEXTON AT THE BEGINNING OF THE ACTION!! MADNESS! Hansen at the conclusion! 5-3

31st : Bad play at the foot of the Irish but the referee comes back to the advantage. Penalty. Ireland will look for the touchline, of course

30th: BUNDEE AKI BREAKS AND MAKES THE WHOLE COURT IN A STRAIGHT LINE!!! He was caught at the entrance to the 22, the Springboks had a narrow escape. Complete reversal of the situation in a fraction of seconds, while Ireland appeared to be underwater

28th : The Stade de France stood up with a masterful reception from Arendse, who has taken all the spotlight on the South African side since the kick-off

25th : My dear rugby players, we are witnessing a titanic fight between the two teams. But I fear for the Irish that the South Africans will impose their pace, their demolition business and that the entry of a brand new front line in the second half risks being decisive

23rd: SOUTH AFRICA EAT THE MATCH SHEET while Salvador Allende, er Damian, had made the breakthrough almost under the Irish posts. And the fight in the process. YES FIGHT, THAT’S WHAT WE WANT

22nd : Concussion protocol for Ringrose, visibly stunned

20th : POUAH ETZEBETH IN AGAINST NBA MODE! He prevents the Irish restart. The South African pressure has been crazy for two, three minutes

19th : The little game at the foot of Willemse who will come out A NOTHING from the Irish goal. Ideal for putting the opponent under pressure.

18th : The response of the shepherd to the shepherdess, Arendse, who had lost the ball in the previous action, to the contest to recover the ball. The Springboks are back in the opposing camp

17th : We therefore had to wait almost 20 minutes to finally see a good touch from the XV du Trèfle

16th : New very clean scrum from the Springboks, followed by the launch of De Klerk for Arendse. South Africa cannot find the solution and Ireland will even seek a penalty. It defends VERY VERY well on the Irish side

14th : South Africa too strong in the scrum and comes out on the feet

13th: KEENAN 3 METERS FROM THE TRY OOOOH AND THE FORWARD RIGHT AFTER! The back went all the way down the left lane after being perfectly launched. Ireland was close to scoring the first try of the match. Superb Irish sequence despite the mistake

11th : This is still completely messed up. Are our Celtic friends doing it or what at the start of the match?

10th : New South African foul, new Irish penalty. Clover insists despite the first failures

9th : Are you surprised if I tell you that the South Africans killed it in the scrum. Obviously not

8th : The Irish are in difficulty with their alignment… Kelleher not far from having another pass intercepted. There will be a melee anyway

5th: Penalty for South Africa, which takes the points unlike Ireland. 3-0 for the reigning world champions

4th : The XV of Clover resists thanks to a hand fault from Du Toit who is knocked out in the process, unintentionally I believe

3rd: It’s VERY well defended by the South Africans who attack like arrows! The Irish are under pressure now

3rd : Sexton’s bad jump pass, intercepted by Kolbe, fortunately for the Irish, there was an advantage for a South African foul. The Springboks under pressure

2nd : Who is on the ground on the Irish side after this first sequence? I think it’s van der Flier. He stands up

1st: IT’S GONE AT THE STADE DE FRANCE! The Irish kick off.

8:56 p.m. : A stadium full of Irish people singing their anthem = THE CHILLS

8:55 p.m.: The South African and Irish players appear on the pitch at the Stade de France. Let the big party begin! It’s THE big shock of this group stage, even more than France-All Blacks. The two best nations in the world, ladies and gentlemen

8:50 p.m. : Eben Etzebeth and his Matthieu Chedid hairstyle, that’s no

8:45 p.m. : Sudaf supporters who are jubilant when the clip of the Rugby World Cup winners is broadcast on the stadium screen. Of which they occupy a very large part

8:40 p.m. : Well no, he didn’t finish his warm-up at all since they are all still on the pitch. The match hasn’t even started and I’m already talking nonsense. And I’m not even drunk!

8:35 p.m. : Faf de Klerk’s color is so yellow that I can see his skull at the other end of the field. A chick, the thing. He’s finishing his warm-up just now.

8:30 p.m.: We’re in place at the Stade de France! Lots of light green in the stands as expected but still quite a few Springbok supporters too. That’s it for the ambiance point. The Irish will play “at home”
