Ireland and South Africa look set to lock horns again this year following last summer’s incredible drawn series between two of rugby’s biggest juggernauts.
The two sides took a Test match each when they faced each other in South Africa last year, with the Boks taking the first Test in Pretoria before Ireland tied the series with victory in Durban.
Now, according to Rapport, a third test will take place in Dublin this November as part of the Autumn Nations Series.
The report claims the reigning double world champions will take on Wales in Cardiff on 1 November, France in Paris on 8 November, Italy at a venue still to be determined on 15 November, and Ireland in Dublin on 22 November.
The Boks have not won in Dublin since 2012 with rivalry between the two sides quickly becoming one of the biggest draws in world rugby.
Roll on November!
