John Smit and Bernard Jackman preview Ireland v Springboks

RTÉ Rugby Podcast

Neil Treacy and Bernard Jackman are joined by South Africa's 2007 World Cup winning captain John Smit ahead of this week's game between Ireland and the Springboks.

We get the South African perspective on Ireland from Smit, and discuss what has become one of the biggest rivalries in rugby in recent seasons.

The panel look back on Ireland's impressive 46-19 win against Australia last weekend, and discuss some of the key selection decisions facing Andy Farrell this week.

And we discuss the issues facing the current disciplinary processes in the game, after straight red cards in consecutive games for the Springboks.
