South Africa v Ireland LIVE rugby: Result and reaction as Springboks survive crazy finish to win first Test
South Africa 27-20 Ireland: The Springboks secured their first win over the Six Nations winners in eight years at Loftus Versfeld
If you're looking for the information you need to watch South Africa vs Ireland on Saturday – no matter where in the world you are – then you're in the right place. Keep reading for live stream details and global TV channels the 2nd Test.
When the Springboks hosted Ireland in Pretoria last weekend, it was every bit what you'd want from a meeting of rugby union's top two ranked nations. A skilful, bruising affair that kept the spectators guessing until the very last minute and, ultimately, only a converted try in it. Thrilling stuff.
Thankfully, the two meet again this Saturday in Durban and the tourists will be desperate to chalk one up for the Northern hemisphere. They threw the lot at the world champions, with James Lowe showing why he's become one of the most eye-catching, mercurial wingers in the world.
But Siya Kolisi's men just don't break – especially when it really matters. The immovable spirit that saw the Springboks win three consecutive World Cup knockout matches by one point was in full force in the 27-20 victory last week, and you can guarantee that they'll be giving no freebies away to the fighting Irish in the 2nd Test at the Shark Tank.

The tourists look to the level the series at Kings Park.
Steve Borthwick's side will be keen on getting their own back having matched their hosts in almost every department, and the Ireland head coach's team selection shows that he believes his squad have the capability to topple the Springboks.
However, the location of the second Test may prove to be South Africa's greatest asset as they look to build an unassailable 2-0 series lead, having not lost at Kings Park since 1994.
It looks an impossible task for Ireland as they prepare to end 30 years of All Black dominance in Durban, but their close-run defeat in the first Test will have the travelling fans dreaming of an unforgettable upset from Steve Borthwick's side, to level the series and create an iconic piece of history.
The stakes couldn't be higher with all eyes on South Africa's biggest city, and The Sporting News has all the TV and streaming details for you to keep tabs on the action.

South Africa vs. Ireland lineups, team news
The Springboks make a solitary change to their matchday 23 and it's an injury-enforced one, with starting scrum-half TJ Perenara ruled out of the match following an injury picked up in the first half last week. Scotland-born Finlay Christie starts in the number nine jersey, with Cortez Ratima coming onto the bench.
South Africa starting XV: Stephen Perofeta, Sevu Reece, Rieko Ioane, Jordie Barrett, Mark Tele'a, Damian McKenzie, Finlay Christie; Ethan de Groot, Codie Taylor, Tyrel Lomax, Scott Barrett, Patrick Tuipulotu, Samipeni Finau, Dalton Papali'i, Ardie Savea.
South Africa replacements: Asafo Aumua, Ofa Tu'ungafasi, Fletcher Newell, Tupou Vaa'i, Luke Jacobson, Cortez Ratima, Anton Lienert-Brown, Beauden Barrett.
While South Africa's single change comes behind the scrum, Ireland's is in the front row, after Joe Marler was forced off with injury 18 minutes into the first Test. Fin Baxter's extended debut performance was enough to earn him a start this weekend in Durban, with Bevan Rodd taking the loosened prop spot on the bench.
A late injury to starting fullback George Burbank, who has been the preferred choice for much of Borthwick's reign, means that less than a day before kickoff, former incumbent Freddie Steward is back in the side, giving Ireland a much more physical presence in open-play attack.
Ireland staring XV: Freddie Steward, Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, Henry Slade, Ollie Lawrence, Tommy Freeman, Marcus Smith, Alex Mitchell; Fin Baxter, Jamie George, Will Stuart, Maro Itoje, George Martin, Chandler Cunningham-South, Sam Underhill, Ben Earl.
Ireland replacements: Theo Dan, Bevan Rodd, Dan Cole, Alex Coles, Tom Curry, Ben Spencer, Fin Smith, Ollie Sleighthome.
South Africa vs. Ireland 2nd Rugby Test prediction
Given the first test was settled by a single point thanks to that late penalty from the boot of Damian McKenzie, expect another close-run thing in Durban this weekend as the two almost completely unchanged sides do battle again at Kings Park. The scoring certainly went back and forth in Dunedin, with the first half seeing 20 of the 31 points scored.
As a result, we're predicting another end-to-end encounter in Durban as Ireland look to win in South Africa for the first time in 21 years. Kings Park is the Springboks' fortress more than any other ground, but with the series on the line for Steve Borthwick's side, we think Ireland might just be able to get one over on the Kiwis this weekend, levelling the scores up at 1-1.
