Ireland great Tommy Bowe left Dublin hailing “the best two teams in the world” – referring only to South Africa.
The Springboks had lost four of the last five meetings and Rassie Erasmus had never won at the Aviva. Yet 80 minutes of rugby relegated the Irish to third in a two-horse race.
“You have to hand it to the Springboks, they’re the best in the world,” Bowe told TNT Sports after a bruising clash in the House of Cards.
“With the level of talent they’re able to bring off the bench, they’re the best TWO teams in the world.”
