Springboks vs Ireland 2

[Machpants]

Probably correct, SAv want to prove a point, as mentioned on here. But Rassie will start building for next RWC after this

Wow

Of the starting 15, 11 were on the pitch for the opening whistle against England in Yokohama in 2019

The average age of the starting 15 is 31 years old. The average age of the starting 15s of Ireland, New Zealand, England, Australia and Wales this weekend are all 28 or younger..

I just don't understand why SA don't play a high tempo game knowing they can replace most of their pack
