John_s_version_1The teams were announced yesterday for the Second Test between South Africa and Ireland which takes place  on Saturday in Johannesburg. Kick off 4:00pm UK/IRE, live on Sky Sports. 

I’m pleased to see that Joe Schmidt has continued to mix things up with ten changes to the squad that featured in the First Test. Stuart Olding, Craig Gilroy, Tadgh Furlong, Quinn Roux and Rhys Ruddock all come into the starting XV with Dave Kilcoyne, Finlay Bealham, Donnacha Ryan, Sean Reidy and Tiernan O’Halloran all starting on the bench. 

In contrast, South Africa have made only five changes to their match day squad and four of those are because of injury. Elton Jantjies and Pieter-Steph du Toit come into the starting line up at out half and second row respectively with Franco Mostert, Morne Steyn and Ruan Combrinck . . .
