Ahead of the exciting two-match series that South Africa will play next month, Ireland’s assistant coach Mike Catt downplayed the importance of remarks that could be interpreted as inflammatory from their camp.
Since the Rugby World Cup in France last year, the two top-ranked teams in the world have been increasingly competitive, and this rivalry has been fueled by the actions of the Springboks trio of Eben Etzebeth, Damian de Allende, and Cheslin Kolbe. Ireland’s trip to Johannesburg is scheduled for this Tuesday.
They will play the world champions in Pretoria on July 6 and in Du… seven days later.
