Ireland shown five cards as Boks win chaotic Test

Quilter Nations Series

Ireland (7) 13

Try Sheehan Con: Crowley Pens: Prendergast 2

South Africa (19) 24

South Africa won a chaotic, bruising autumn Test for the first time since 2012, winning in Dublin with the help of ill-disciplined Ireland.

Ireland had hoped to win the World Cup with a statement win to end 2025 on a high after falling to the All Blacks in November.

However, on a hectic and intensely frustrating evening that resulted in red cards for James Ryan and yellow cards for Andrew Porter, Paddy McCarthy, coach Andy Farrell was forced to rip up his game plan.

With a fourth-minute try, Damian Willemse gave the visitors a first-class start, before Ryan was yellow for a high hit on Malcolm Marx in preparation for Tadhg Beirne’s banned try.

Cobus Reinach extended the Springboks’ lead after the card was upgraded to a 20-minute red before Dan Sheehan crossed for Ireland. Prendergast also sin-binned.

However, the Irish only had 12 men in the final minute as Crowley and Porter received yellow cards, and Rassie Erasmus’ men were given a penalty try to take a massive 19-7 lead at the break.

Ireland finished with 12 players in an eventful first half.

When Willemse scored the opening try after Damian de Allende’s line-break and Cheslin Kolbe’s surge through a gap in the Irish defence, the Springboks wasted no time demonstrating why they are the world’s best team.

The hosts, who had already defeated South Africa in four of their previous five games before Saturday, found only frustration in the midst of a first half that was full of contentious exchanges and TMO stops.

Tommy O’Brien was taken out by Feinberg-Mngomezulu in Ireland’s first meaningful attack following the Willemse try, but the young Bok fly-half controversially escaped a yellow card while the Leinster man was fouled by Feinberg-Mngomezulu in an apparent no-arms tackle.

Ryan, however, chose not to. After Beirne’s try was recklessly thrown at Thomas du Toit in a ruck, Ryan’s yellow was upgraded to a 20-minute red following a review.

After rotating for last week’s win in Italy, South Africa were denied by the TMO when Boan Venter’s try was ruled out due to Jasper Wiese’s forward pass to Eben Etzebeth.

However, Ireland was unable to hold back South Africa’s muscle for long, so Reinach burst through a gap and scored with Prendergast’s yellow card for straying offside salt in Irish wounds after spending a while camping in their own territory.

Three minutes before the break, Sheehan crashed over after Josh van der Flier and Bundee Aki’s powerful carries gave them a fleeting reprieve.

Ireland’s discipline, however, deserted them when Crowley was sin-binned for knocking the ball out of Reinach’s hands at the end of the 20-minute red-card period just as Cian Prendergast came on.

And Porter was sin-binned for a scrum infringement after Erasmus beefed up his scrum, which was still in place throughout, by sending on front-row replacements Gerhard Steenekamp and Wilco Louw.

After a sour opening half, Prendergast returned from the bin to cut the deficit to nine points before the athletic Feinberg-Mngomezulu sprinted past the Irish defense in the 47th minute to push the Boks even further clear.

Ireland’s only score from that point came from Prendergast’s second penalty, which was enough to reduce the home side’s card count to five as a result of McCarthy’s replacement prop’s scrum infringement.

The Irish pressed for a late try before being rejected by a stern Springbok defensive unit, which held on despite losing Grant Williams to a yellow card late in the match.

South Africa will have a chance to finish Europe clean sweep when they face Wales next week after winning games against France and Italy.

Wales tries ‘outstanding’ in NZ defeat as Tandy waits on Wainwright

Huw Evans Picture Agency

Autumn Nations Series: Wales v South Africa

Venue: Principality Stadium, Cardiff Date: Saturday, 29 November Kick-off: 15:10 GMT

Wales hope number eight Aaron Wainwright will be fit to face world champions South Africa next Saturday.

The 61-capped Dragons back rower withdrew from the team that were beaten New Zealand 52-26 at the Principality Stadium because of a hip injury.

Scarlets number eight Taine Plumtree came in to start and was given a second-half yellow card in the seven-try loss to the All Blacks.

Head coach Steve Tandy hopes Wainwright will be available to face a Springboks side that defeated Ireland 24-13 on Saturday.

“He [Aaron] was moving yesterday and was up and running, so we’re hopeful,” said Tandy.

Missing men for daunting South Africa challenge

Against the Springboks, Wales will be without 13 players who play club rugby in England and France.

The game has been organised by the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) outside of World Rugby’s international window, so non-Welsh based players are unavailable for the fixture.

The match is also on a weekend of United Rugby Championship (URC) games with the four professional sides all playing league fixtures.

Wales currently have 28 players remaining in the squad preparing for the visit of South Africa with Tandy weighing up introducing some new names.

“I think we’ll call up a few, we’ll have to assess around injuries,” said Tandy.

“They are world champions, so we might have to get a few reinforcements in.

“We’ll chat as a coaching group and with the medical staff. Touch wood, everyone has pulled through alright.”

Flanker Harri Deaves made his first Wales start against New Zealand, while fellow Ospreys back-rower Morgan Morse and Dragons hooker Brodie Coghlan also made Test debuts from the replacement bench.

Tandy pointed to the difference in experience of the two sides.

“The All Blacks had around 800 caps there, we had 300, with three new caps,” said Tandy.

“We’ve got to go through that period. Being 11th in the world, getting those boys the experience they need.

“Next week will be another chance to do that for other people.

Pride in defeat but discipline concern

Tandy was keen to stress the positives as Wales managed four tries for only the second time against the All Blacks and scored the most points by a Welsh side in this fixture in Cardiff.

Wales still suffered a 34th successive defeat against the All Blacks with the previous victory against New Zealand coming in 1953.

“There’s lots to be proud of and lots to see in how we want to play,” said Tandy.

“The tries were outstanding. There’s still things for us to work on. In fairness to the group, the toughness and effort they put in throughout was what you want as a coach.

“It’s not the scoreboard we want in terms of where we want to go to, but I believe the group that we’ve got, it was a huge effort.

“They’re massively proud, but also understand where we want to go as a team.”

Tandy admitted discipline remains an issue with yellow cards shown to replacement prop Gareth Thomas and Plumtree.

“A couple of yellow cards doesn’t help the build-up of pressure,” said Tandy.

“We felt a couple of moments could have gone our way and some 50/50s fell the other side.

“We’ve got to look at the penalty count. There were some early offsides where we could have been better.

“It’s smaller things in these Test matches. From kick-offs, when you score, you want to exit rather than fumble the ball.

Wales tries ‘outstanding’ in NZ defeat as Tandy waits on Wainwright

Cardiff Principality Stadium Date: Saturday, November Kick-off: 15:10 GMT

Wales’ No. 8 hopes Aaron Wainwright will be able to compete against South Africa, the country’s top-ranked player, on Saturday.

Due to a hip injury, the 61-cap back rower withdrew from the Dragons’ 52-26 victory over New Zealand at the Principality Stadium.

Taine Plumtree, the eighth-ranked Scarlets player, started and was shown a second-half yellow card for the All Blacks’ seven-try defeat.

Steve Tandy, head coach, anticipates that Wainwright will face the Springboks, who defeated Ireland on Saturday with a score of 24-13.

We’re optimistic because Aaron moved yesterday and was operational, Tandy said.

Missing men for a challenging South Africa challenge

Wales will be without 13 of its English and French rugby league counterparts.

Non-Welsh based players are not available for the match because the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) has organized the game outside of World Rugby’s international window.

The four professional sides, each playing league games, also play United Rugby Championship (URC) games over the weekend.

Twenty-eight players are still in Wales’ squad as they prepare for their South African trip, with Tandy considering introducing some new names.

“I think we’ll call up a few, and we’ll need to look into the injuries,” Tandy said.

They are world champions, so we might need to add some more players.

We’ll talk with the medical staff as a coaching group. Everyone has succeeded, thanks to the touch wood.

In addition to making his Test debut against New Zealand, fellow Ospreys back-rower Morgan Morse and Dragons hooker Brodie Coghlan made their Test debuts.

Tandy cited the disparate experience of the two parties.

Tandy remarked, “The All Blacks had around 800 caps there, we had 300, and we had three new caps.

We must endure that time. 11th in the world gives those boys the necessary experience.

“Next week will be a second opportunity for other people to do that.”

Pride over defeat but concern about discipline

Tandy was eager to emphasize the positive aspects of Wales’ ability to score four tries against the All Blacks for the first time in this match in Cardiff.

Wales lost 34th time in a row to the All Blacks, winning last time against New Zealand in 1953.

Tandy said, “There’s a lot to be proud of and a lot to see in our playing style.”

The tries were outstanding. There are still some things we need to work on. You want to be a coach because of the hard work and dedication they put in throughout, fair to the group.

“I don’t want to see where we want to go, but I think the group we have worked with was fantastic,” he said.

They are incredibly proud, but they also understand our collective goals.

Gareth Thomas and Plumtree, the replacement prop, received yellow cards, Tandy admitted, and the issue of discipline is still present.

Tandy remarked, “A few yellow cards don’t help the build-up of pressure.”

We “felt a few moments could have gone our way,” and some 50s/50s sank the other way.

“We need to examine the penalty count,” he said. There were some early shortcomings that needed improvement.

In these Test matches, it’s smaller things. When you score, you want to leave rather than fumble the ball right away.
