Coetzee names his match day 23 to face Ireland

Boks change 3 to face Ireland as the Mtawarira and Oosthuizen start in the front row with de Allende starting at 12 with the unavailability of Serfontein. Head Coach Allister Coetzee has retained his loose trio that were exceptional against the All Blacks in Cape Town.

Mbonambi, Cassiem and Venter all join the match day 23 as they take their place on the bench for their opening November test against Ireland in Dublin.
