What channel is South Africa v Ireland Summer Internationals 2024 first match on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch South Africa v Ireland in a Summer Internationals 2024 match, including TV details and more.
Ireland travel to take on world champions South Africa in a two-Test series, with the first taking place in Pretoria on Saturday.
While there are clear favourites in the other international tests taking place, the Springboks and Ireland clash will likely be this weekend’s most tantalising and tense collision.
Both Andy Farrell and Rassie Erasmus are lacking big names. Ireland are without full-back Hugo Keenan, who is preparing for the Olympics with the Ireland sevens team, while Jamison Gibson-Park and Mack Hansen are injured.
The Boks will miss Makazole Mapimpi and utility back Canan Moodie, alongside Steven Kitsoff, locks Jean Kleyn and Lood de Jager, and Damian Willemse.

South Africa v Ireland prediction
Ireland have won three on the bounce against South Africa, including in last year’s World Cup group stage. But without chief playmaker Gibson-Park and the sturdy Keenan, South Africa edge ahead as slight favourites thanks to home advantage. Whoever wins, it is sure to be this weekend's toughest and most engrossing contest.
Prediction: South Africa to win
