The four South African teams might have just managed one win in eight games between them in the United Rugby Championship, but Munster back-rower Jack O’Donoghue is confident they will add a lot to the new competition.

It’s proving a difficult start for the South Africans on their tour to Europe for the opening rounds, with the Lions’ 38-26 win over Zebre in Parma their only success to date, with the Bulls and Sharks not even picking up a bonus point so far.
