Ireland welcome the World Cup champions South Africa to Dublin this weekend. Mack Hansen returned from injury last week to make his first start at full-back for Ireland scoring a hat-trick and putting in a Player of the Match performance. It was a much improved performance all round from the first two games of this autumn series and Andy Farrell will be looking for the same again and more when they welcome Rassie Erasmus and co to town this weekend. 

Ireland completed a summer tour to South Africa in 2024 with the Springboks winning the first clash 27-20 but Ireland levelled the series in a thrilling game winning by one point 24-25.
