Moodie at wing in Dublin

Rassie has picked almost the same team that beat the French in Paris. Kurt Lee Arendse is out with concussion so Rassie has gone for Canan Moodie as replacement wing. Ruan Nortje starts at unlucky 5 with Kwagga coming onto the bench. Andre Esterhuizen seems to be a permanent fixture in this team as the very useful hybrid replacement.

South Africa has last beaten Ireland outside of South Africa in 2012. Ireland also won 4 out of the last 5 tests against the Boks. There will be huge motivation for the Boks to win this game. The next match will be against Wales who should have lost to Japan if not for another red card. This means the players can empty the tank as it will be the last match of the Bok season for them.
