What channel is Ireland v South Africa Autumn Internationals match on? Kick-off time and live stream
Check out our guide about how to watch Ireland v South Africa in the Autumn Internationals 2022, including TV details and UK time.
Ireland are on top of the world coming into this Autumn Internationals series. Ranked first overall by World Rugby in their rankings, Andy Farrell’s team are on cloud nine after going to New Zealand in the summer and leaving the country with a 2-1 series win.
Looking to carry on that momentum between now and the Rugby World Cup in a years’ time, they start their three-match run of games against the current world champions, South Africa. They will be without centre Bundee Aki who is banned for two more games, while James Lowe, Iain Henderson and Ronan Kelleher are all out with injury for the foreseeable future.
At 37, Johnny Sexton will captain the team from fly-half, while Josh van der Flier is expected to keep up his frankly unbelievable form from earlier in the year and Tadhg Furlong is always a delight at tighthead prop.
Also playing France, Italy and England these coming weeks, Jacques Nienaber’s team will be missing their first-choice fly-half Handre Pollard. Instead leaning upon 24-year-old Damian Willemse, it will be hoped that the Stormers player will combine well with veteran playmaker Faf de Klerk.
Beating Wales in the summer and finishing second in the Rugby Championship, the Springboks are always a threat. With a settled and experienced squad, as ever the team led by Siya Kolisi are going to be dangerous and should never be taken lightly.
