Reaction: Ireland beat South Africa at the Aviva, and beat them well

Ireland put in an exceptional performance to beat South Africa at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday evening.

Ian Madigan's penalty made it 29-15 in what was a classy Irish performance, capped by tries from Rhys Ruddock and Tommy Bowe and an exemplary kicking performance from man of the match Jonny Sexton. Here's the reaction to a great win for Joe Schmidt's side...
