Croke Park, Dublin, Ireland (GenevaLunch) - The Irish rugby team put on a brave display to beat the South African Springboks, the current world champions, in a tight game which was played in a Dublin fog in front of almost 75,000 fans. The win meant that the Irish have now gone 11 games without defeat. The points were scored by Jonathan Sexton but the victory owed as much to the ferocious tackling of Brian O’Driscoll.
In the other Internationals the New Zealand All Blacks crushed France 12-39 and Australia beat Wales 12-33.
