IRISH CURSE

- BY FRANCOIS DE WET

THE fact that they last beat Ireland in a Test match in 2012 is not smokkeling met die koppe of the Springboks, according to wing Cheslin Kolbe.

South Africa tackle die Iere at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday at 7.40pm, where they lost their last three encounters with the home span.

In 2014, Heyneke Meyer’s Bok team fell 29-15 to a then-Joe Schmidt-coached Ireland and in 2016 Schmidt was also in charge as the home team secured a record 38-3 win over Allister Coetzee’s side.
