Two opposing strategies. Last week, Ireland narrowly lost (27-20) to South Africa in a very intense Test match. The two nations meet again this Saturday for a new battle. For this meeting, Andy Farrell decided to alter his starting fifteen, making four changes. Ronan Kelleher replaced Dan Sheehan for the remainder of the tour with a knee injury. Connor Murray will replace Craig Casey at nine. Gary Ringrose finds his place in the center with Robbie Henshaw preferred to Bundy Aki.

Razi Erasmus, on the other hand, decided to trust his two-time world champions. The South African coach renews the fifteen at the same time with his executives Mbonambi, Etzebeth, Kolisi or De Allende and Cheslin Kolbe. Faf de Klerk and Handre Pollard have also been renewed.
