Boks ‘must be special to beat Ireland’

IT WILL take a very special team to beat Ireland at Lansdowne Road — and that’s what South Africa want to be, according to newly appointed Springbok team manager Zola Yeye.

The Boks meet the Irish in Dublin on Saturday, keen to learn the lessons of their last visit to Lansdowne Road where they lost 17-11 in 2004.

“The last time we were here we were complacent,” Yeye said of a visit in which Bok coach Jake White infamously dismissed the Irish challenge.
