The Springboks and Ireland meet in Durban on Saturday to decide the top-ranked team in the world.
Last week was about winning. It was simply about breaking a losing streak against Ireland, and on that score the Springboks got the job done
Of course, there is still the small matter of the first-ever meeting with Portugal to come in Bloemfontein next week, but that Bok team will look vastly different to the 23 players taking on Ireland at Kings Park in Durban tomorrow. Centres Damien de Allende and Jesse Kriel will combine for a record 30th time in the Boks' midfield, while six of the eight players in the starting pack have more than 50 caps.
