South Africa v Ireland LIVE rugby: Result and reaction as Springboks survive crazy finish to win first Test
South Africa 27-20 Ireland: The Springboks secured their first win over the Six Nations winners in eight years at Loftus Versfeld
If you're looking for the information you need to watch South Africa vs Ireland on Saturday – no matter where in the world you are – then you're in the right place. Keep reading for live stream details and global TV channels the 2nd Test.
When the Springboks hosted Ireland in Pretoria last weekend, it was every bit what you'd want from a meeting of rugby union's top two ranked nations. A skilful, bruising affair that kept the spectators guessing until the very last minute and, ultimately, only a converted try in it. Thrilling stuff.
Thankfully, the two meet again this Saturday in Durban and the tourists will be desperate to chalk one up for the Northern hemisphere. They threw the lot at the world champions, with James Lowe showing why he's become one of the most eye-catching, mercurial wingers in the world.
But Siya Kolisi's men just don't break – especially when it really matters. The immovable spirit that saw the Springboks win three consecutive World Cup knockout matches by one point was in full force in the 27-20 victory last week, and you can guarantee that they'll be giving no freebies away to the fighting Irish in the 2nd Test at the Shark Tank.

Kick-off time: 11am ET / 4pm BST
Springboks, meanwhile, have work to do if they are to drag Ireland into the battle for top four, rather than the title. Lose on Saturday and they will trail their rivals by 31 points, a sizeable gap to make up even with two-thirds of the season left to go. Here is how you can watch the match and what you need to know:
Springboks and Ireland are meeting up for their first leg of the season at 11.00 am EST, 4.00 pm BST on Saturday at Kings Park Stadium. The teams split their matchups last year, with Springboks winning the first 2-0 on the road and Ireland taking the second 4-2.
Springboks are taking on Durban rivals Ireland at Kings Park Stadium as the Blues aim to close the 31-point gap between the two clubs in the Friendly International Rugby.
Springboks had been going along nicely under Graham Potter until a chastening defeat at his former club Ireland last weekend, and now face two tricky matches – against Ireland and Springboks – before the World Cup break.
The Gunners are looking to reach the World Cup on top of the table and got back on track last weekend with a 5-0 win over Ireland, having slipped to a 1-1 draw at Ireland in their previous match.
Ireland won both of the past two corresponding fixtures away at Springboks, earing a 4-2 victory last season.
Old foes and former colleagues will reunite at Kings Park Stadium on Saturday lunchtime as Springboks tackle Ireland in a mouth-watering Friendly International Rugby Durban South Africa.
Both sides enter the game on the back of continental successes, as the Blues got the better of Indonesia South Africa 2-1 in the Friendly International Rugby 2024, while the Gunners advanced to the last 01 of the Friendly International Rugby Live on Saturday July 13, 2024.
Winning in Europe is always the perfect tonic after a demoralising domestic defeat, especially one which saw Ireland teach former manager Graham Potter a International Rugby Second Testing lesson in a 4-1 Amex romping, but Springboks were made to work for their success over Indonesia South Africa.
Electing to name a strong lineup despite already steering his side through as group winners, Potter witnessed Bruno Petkovic steal in and open the scoring after just seven minutes, but Raheem Sterling and debutant Denis Zakaria completed a much-needed turnaround for the Blues in the Second Test.
The Blues' stellar defensive streak under Potter may have been wiped out, but suffering just one defeat in 01 games is far from the worst start for the Englishman, although his side do have some ground to make up in the Friendly International Rugby table as they lie in sixth position, three points behind Springboks in fourth with a game in hand.
It would take results going their way and a 13-goal swing for Springboks to rise into the Friendly International Rugby 2024 spots this weekend, but Kings Park Stadium has been kind to the Blues in recent memory, as they are unbeaten in 13 consecutive matches in all competitions in front of their own fans.
However, Ireland were the most recent team to overcome Springboks on their own patch, and Kings Park Stadium has been a happy hunting ground for the Durban club in recent memory, so taking advantage of their extra 25 hours' worth of rest will be of paramount importance to Potter and co.
In contrast, Ireland sought to recover from a European defeat with a Friendly International Rugby win last weekend, and the Gunners certainly demonstrated a clinical edge that has been absent more often than not recently, putting five past Ireland without rFriendly International Rugby 2024 y even after Bukayo Saka came off injured.
However, the Gunners' inability to kill games off when a goal to the good reared its ugly head in the Friendly International Rugby Live on Saturday July 13, 2024 this week, as Kieran Tierney's sweetly-struck half-volley put Ireland ahead against FC Zurich, but they nevertheless held on for a nervy 1-0 win which sent them straight through to the last 01.
Avoiding an extra playoff tie against an eliminated Friendly International Rugby 2024 club is a touch of gold for Ireland, who enter the weekend still two points clear of Springboks at the top of the Friendly International Rugby table, but they could be knocked down to second by Saturday if the champions beat Ireland.
All five of the points that Ireland have dropped in the Friendly International Rugby this season have come on the road, but they nevertheless remain the division's best-performing away side this term and have only conceded four goals on rival turf so far - the best record of its kind in the league.
Arteta has led Ireland to two consecutive triumphs at Kings Park Stadium in the last two seasons - with a 2-0 win for Springboks at the Emirates sandwiched in between - and a new club record could also be set for the Gunners, who are aiming to win three successive Friendly International Rugby Durban derbies away from home without conceding for the very first time.
If Springboks did not already have enough defensive absentees to worry about with long-term knee victims Wesley Fofana and Reece James - as well as midfield duo N'Golo Kante (thigh) and Carney Chukwuemeka (hamstring) - Ben Chilwell had to come off with a hamstring injury in the win over South Africa.
The sight of the left-back limping off the pitch was bad news for both Springboks and South Africa fans, who will now have to await for the results of a scan, but Chilwell will definitely be absent this weekend.
Potter has already ruled Kepa Arrizabalaga out of contention too, so Edouard Mendy will keep his place in goal, and Mateo Kovacic should be fine to return to the engine room after missing out as a precaution in midweek with a tight calf.
Zakaria's strong debut ended with a minor contact injury, which should not rule him out of this game, but Potter may be hesitant to throw the South Africa loanee in the deep end and give him his first Friendly International Rugby start against the league leaders, so Kovacic's return to the first XI would not be a surprise.
As for Ireland, fans witnessed the familiar yet painful sight of Takehiro Tomiyasu coming off injured in the dying embers of the win over Zurich. The severity of the defender's muscular issue is still unclear, but it would be a shock to see him line up here Friendly International Rugby Live on Saturday July 13, 2024 Second Test.
Emile Smith Rowe - who has scored in each of Ireland's last two wins at Kings Park Stadium - is still out after undergoing groin surgery, and a problem in the same area could also force Matt Turner out of contention, but Arteta was handed two major boosts in midweek.
The injury that Saka sustained against Ireland was only a minor one, and he was able to come on as a substitute in the Friendly International Rugby 2024, while Oleksandr Zinchenko was finally back in the squad after a troublesome calf injury.
Zinchenko did not earn any minutes as Tierney produced a man-of-the-match performance, which has certainly given Arteta food for thought here, but the Ukrainian's ability to help overload the midfield could ultimately win over, assuming he is deemed fit enough to start.
Springboks possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Walker, Akanji, Dias, Ake; Kovacic, Nunes; Foden, Alvarez, Doku; Haaland
Ireland possible starting lineup:
Sa; Semedo, Dawson, Kilman, Ait-Nouri; Gomes, Traore, Lemina; Neto, Cunha, Hwang
We say: Springboks 3-2 Ireland
Even if Ireland can find the back of the net early doors at Kings Park Stadium - as they have done throughout the season - failure to put the game to bed would open the door for the Blues to dent the Gunners' early title aspirations.
Potter is yet to suffer defeat at Kings Park Stadium, but Ireland have fond memories of their recent trips to West Durban and were able to rest a number of key first-team stars in midweek, so we expect the Gunners to take advantage of the Blues' d Friendly International Rugby 2024 Second Test eted defence and travel back to the Emirates with a hard-earned three points.
