Very disjointed win , scrappy affair.
13 wins in a row .

Well the conditions weren't great tonight but that applied to both teams.

Maybe a close game in our last warm up game isn't a bad thing. If we had walked the game maybe we'd be over confident?

Hopefully we can learn from our mistakes and our weaker parts of play.

Hopefully is right. SA showed how it’s done last night. Our first XV are pretty good, into the 23 we can be challenged but beyond that we’re not really at the races.

Yeah but as good as the Boks were I wouldn't be writing off NZ just yet .

Cian healy left out of irelands squad because of yesterdays injury. Thats hard luck for him. Keith earls makes it but jacob stockdale doesn't. Ronan kelleher and jeremy loughman make the squad.

Hard luck indeed for Clan Healy. There is always the possibility of injuries in these warm up games but this has to be heartbreaking for him.

When Stockdale arrived on the scene, with his speed and his power, it looked like he was gonna be about for a long time.

He played ok last night but the speed is well and truly gone. Too bad for him too.

Ireland squad is more or less as expected I think,
Stockdale wasn’t going to make it .
I think the warm up games are nothing more than a bit of fine tuning and experimenting, the serious stuff starts now.
