springbok team named for second ireland test in durban

Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus has named his team for the second Test against Ireland to be played in Durban, at 5pm, on Saturday.

The Boks go into the match on the back of a 27-20 win against the Six Nations winners at Loftus in Pretoria last Saturday.

It is an unchanged team named by Erasmus, making it the most experienced Bok side ever to take the field.

There will be a total of 990 combined Test caps among the players, surpassing the 987 caps amassed by the run-on team in the Rugby World Cup final against New Zealand in France last year.

Furthermore, Damian de Allende and Jesse Kriel will become the most-capped centre pairing in South African history on Saturday when they combine in the midfield for the 30th time in Tests.
