The Stade de France, 23 September – a tasty potential Pool B decider. Plenty more to come before then, of course. The hosts still have Fiji and Australia to come this autumn, while South Africa’s tour does not get any easier – they travel to Marseille for a meeting with France next Saturday.Harry Latham-Coyle5 November 2022 19:461667677118Ireland debutant Jimmy O’Brien, who was excellent after coming off the bench in the first half, has a quick chat with Amazon Prime.’It was great to be involved in that. I only found out on Thursday afternoon. The lads helped me out a lot – I wasn’t expecting to come on at 13, I haven’t played there for a while!’There is such a good vibe in the team. Everyone gets on and everyone is trying to play the same way. It is pretty seamless to move up and play in that team.’Harry Latham-Coyle5 November 2022 19:381667676948A match of predictable ferocity and fight, a proper, proper arm-wrestle – with Ireland earning another significant tick on their build towards the World Cup. The world champions came to Dublin and gave Andy Farrell’s side plenty, but the hosts held out for a tenth successive home win.Harry Latham-Coyle5 November 2022 19:351667676817Harry Latham-Coyle5 November 2022 19:331667676764The lineout works – just. Ireland have a minute to see out. This ball won’t travel far. Harry Latham-Coyle5 November 2022 19:321667676737Penalty to Ireland! Just as South Africa look to have won the ball back near halfway, the blast of Nika Amashukeli’s whistle helps the host, the Springboks’ pinged and yet more time ticking by.Harry Latham-Coyle5 November 2022 19:321667676533A brilliant score to give South Africa hope! It looks as if Ireland have ended the momentum of the Springboks’ movement as Robert Baloucoune detonates Willie le Roux’s chest. But Le Roux keeps the ball alive, popping up from the floor for Eben Etzebeth.Etzebeth then produces a moment of deft handling, belying that Brobdingnagian frame. He fends off one, draws two more and sends up the periscope, reaching up to drop the ball back over the garden fence for the little Kurt-Lee Arendse to scoot over. Another missed conversion – three points in it, three minutes left. Harry Latham-Coyle5 November 2022 19:281667676486That’s about Damian Willemse’s best moment of the game, leading the chase at the restart and exploiting a clutch of Irish catchers slow to set. A knock on in the tackle from the hosts gives South Africa an attacking scrum.Harry Latham-Coyle5 November 2022 19:28
