It all seems a bit anticlimactic after the Springboks and Ireland were forced to share their Incoming Series 1-1, after two thrilling games saw the top two ranked sides in World Rugby come out with a win-a-piece.

It wasnt like nobody saw this coming, as the fixtures were announced late last year and we already knew that the traditional three-game incoming tour would be shortened to two games to accommodate a match against a tier two nation as the third.

However, it was only after this last weeks clash in Durban, where Ireland stole a series levelling win from the jaws of defeat with a drop goal on the fulltime hooter, that people fully realised how much they wanted a third Test.

If either the Boks or Ireland had won the series two-nil it is likely that no one would have minded not having a third Test, but instead we are all left wanting more as a drawn series makes it seem like there is unfinished business.

Especially between the Boks and Ireland, who have developed a massive rivalry in recent years, and with the Irish having been the Boks bogey team in recent times, while debate will continue to rage over which team is currently the best in world rugby.
