This is the big one.
Ireland take on South Africa this evening at the Aviva Stadium (kick-off, 5.40pm), in their fourth game of the Autumn Nations Series.
After an undercooked performance in their loss to the All Blacks, Andy Farrell’s men were looked better against Japan, before putting Australia to the sword with a 46-19 victory last weekend.
They will have a spring in their step today for a game against the world’s best team, in what will be real litmus test to show just how much they have improved.
However, the Springboks, having lost four out of the last five meetings between the teams, will be looking for revenge.
