South Africa have named their team to face Ireland in the first Guinness series Novermber Internationals for this Saturday. The team is unchanged from the side that beat the All Blacks in the final game of the Rugby Championship.
The dangermen to watch out for are maverick fullback Willie le Roux, IRB Junior Player of the year Handre Pollard and openside flanker and general nuisance Marcell Coetzee.
With Rory Best likely out injured, there is a chance for a second Strauss reunion off the bench, with Adriaan named on the replacements bench and Richardt, fresh from facing his brother Andries last Friday against Edinburgh also expected to be named.
I'm personally looking forward to how Ryle Nugent attempting to pronounce Tebo Mohoje.
