South Africas Springboks host Ireland in the first of two Tests at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on Saturday, with kick-off at 5pm.

The Boks are world champions, while Ireland are Six Nations winners and the only side to have beaten the South Africans en route to their World Cup title in France last year.

Here are five things to look out for from the Boks on Saturday.

What approach will the Boks take against a much better side in Ireland than Wales were in London, and will they look to play a more attack-minded game, with more ball in hand?
