Here’s the Irish rugby team named to play South Africa for Saturday’s second test

Conor Heneghan

Five changes to a side that made history last weekend.

South-African born lock Quinn Roux will make his Ireland debut in a side that’s been given a good shake-up since last weekend’s historic victory over the Springboks in Cape Town.

Tadgh Furlong and Rhys Ruddock also come into the pack, with Ruddock set to start at openside flanker and Iain Henderson moving to the blindside in the absence of the suspended CJ Stander.

Ulster’s Stuart Olding will partner Robbie Henshaw in the centre with Craig Gilroy coming in on the wing, while Tiernan O’Halloran and Sean Reidy will make their first appearances for the national side if introduced from the bench.

Ireland take on South Africa in Johannesburg on Saturday at 5pm local time (4pm Irish time).
