Caelan Doris said Ireland can take confidence from their win over South Africa last year.
Murray Kinsella Reports from Tours OVER THE NEXT few days, much of the chat will be about the South African forwards, especially since 15 of them will be involved against Ireland.
Before that game, there had been plenty of chat about how Ireland struggled against the biggest, most physically powerful teams. They answered some of those questions in their 19-16 win. “That week in Dublin, we took a step up and we know we require the same this week. I think if we match them there, we’ve a lot of belief in what we can do in terms of our attack. We’ve shown some of that over the last couple of weeks but yeah, it’s definitely a test and a big step up from what we’ve seen so far.”The might of South Africa’s physicality is mentioned often because it’s so true.
“They’ve got a lot of pace in their backs and their forwards are capable of keeping the ball alive and offloading. Obviously, the physicality is tied into their set-piece, they’ve got a great maul, great lineout options as well, a very strong lineout and scrum as well. The scrum will be a particularly intense battleground and one that is sure to test referee Ben O’Keeffe.“They want to develop momentum from the ‘set,’” said Fogarty. “They’re a very big side, so they want to use weight and power and strength early in the scrum to cause as much damage as possible. That’s evident in how they scrummage.
