The Ireland and South Africa rugby union teams have a rivalry dating back to 1906. Until recently, the Springboks of South Africa have dominated the meetings, with the Irish only having achieved four victories. However, their last three meetings have resulted in Irish victories.
The teams' next meeting, set for 6 November 2010, will be the first Ireland Test at their new home of Aviva Stadium. Accordingly, the Boks have agreed to wear their change strip in order to allow Ireland to wear their normal green. (Normally, the home team changes in the event of a colour clash.)
