Like a lot!

Not the biggest Jesse Kriel fan but with Am injured we are thin in the midfield.

Glad to have Bongi back. Dweba just didn't cut it at top level.

And it is time for PSDT to get back to his best. After the injury he hasn't been close to his Player of the Year type of performances.

Yeah for sure. Back three has an exciting look to it so Ireland will have to be wary of kicking too much uncontestable ball away. Only concern is the lack of a recognised goal kicker. Willemse is still patchy off the tee and this game could be very close so every point will count.

Chessie is a really good goalkicker. He also has some distance and can slot from 45-50m. He just seems like one of those guys that have top-level skill and keeps it sharp. I can even imagine him practicing some 9 roles as well (box kicks) in case of a yellow/red/emergency injury etc.

Do we have enough fire power to take down the Irish this weekend?

I hope we don't just slow it down and kick off 9 the whole game. Hopefully we take some chances running and some set moves from line outs and scrums.

The game plan could be largely dictated by the conditions. Does the Aviva Stadium have a roof? If not and it's wet, I don't expect to see a lot of expansive rugby.

Looking at about a 24% chance of rain and a chilly 11 or 12 degrees around the time of kick off.

Not sure if it has been mentioned for: Seems all Autum Nations Rugby series will be live streamed by Amazon Prime.

OMG, this is what I have been waiting for. I dumped DSTV a while ago but not really a good alternative to watch sport except best effort IPTV solutions. If they can eat sports broadcast it would be great

Probably not in South Africa. SuperSport has the exclusive rights to the Autum Nations Series.

I got a bad feeling about this tour , we may be in for a reality check against Ireland + France.

Same. I got a feeling that it will end in tears for us. I see Irish media portays this as a clash of the greats. Worlds best (Ireland) vs World Cup Winners (South Africa)

I just hope we can pull of a win even if it's just by 3 points it's fine as long as we get the W
