Eddie O’Sullivan has named his side to face South Africa in the first test on Saturday. The side features no changes from the side that beat Scotland in the Triple Crown decider at Landsdowne Road last April.



Ireland go into the match as favourites, due to their impressive recent form and the lack of experience and apparent disarray rife in the Springbok camp.

Ireland (V South Africa):

G. Dempsey, S. Horgan, G. D’Arcy, B. O’Driscoll (capt.), G. Murphy, R. O’Gara, P. Stringer, R. Corrigan, S. Byrne, J. Hayes, M. O’Kelly, P. O’Connell, S. Easterby, D. Wallace, A. Foley


Replacements:F. Sheahan, M. Horan, D. O’Callaghan, A. Quinlan, D. Humphreys, G. Easterby, K. Maggs
