Eddie O’Sullivan has decided to make what could only be described as quite radical changes ahead of the second test with South Africa on Saturday.

Having left the match on Saturday due to injury, it has now been announced that Ireland centre Gordon D’Arcy will miss the rest of the South Africa tour due to the groin injury he picked up during the match.
Ireland’s hopes of an historic victory over South Africa in the first test, were dashed due to a combination of a powerful Springbok side, indisipline and the loss of Six Nations player of the tournament, Gordon D’Arcy.
