Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus expects Ireland to pull out all the stops to end their rugby season on a high note with a victory over the Springboks in Durban on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Erasmus says the Boks’ first victory over the Irish in 8 years last weekend<\/a>\u00a0was by no means a walk in the park.<\/p>\n Ireland is ranked number 2 in the world, only after South Africa.<\/p>\n Erasmus has announced an unchanged Bok squad for this weekend, saying they are lucky not to have had any injuries in the first test.<\/p>\n “We hoped everybody would be injury-free. Obviously, there’s always a few niggles and bumps and bruises in a game like that. We hoped really that we can play the same team two games in a row. Just by answering that, maybe with other one or 2 questions that might be asked. Next week guys like Lukanya Am, Canan Moodie – those kinds of guys, hopefully against Portugal some of those guys can get game time. But we are trying to get some momentum and luckily the team is injury-free.”<\/p>\n Unchanged #Springboks<\/a> team for Saturday’s second Test against Ireland, and it will be a special occasion for De Allende, Kriel and Malherbe – more here: https:\/\/t.co\/C3z6ZMfXXv<\/a> #ForeverGreenForeverGold<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/YYp060RyEq<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Springboks (@Springboks) July 9, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
