"Obviously it's a very special win," Ireland captain Rory Best said as the dust settled on the first test. Coetzee made just two changes, both forced by injury, to his starting team for the second test. In the second game in Johannesburg, and again in the final test in Port Elizabeth next weekend, Ireland's tourists have a chance at a much larger slice of history. Just two teams have won three-test rugby series in South Africa: New Zealand and the British and Irish Lions. Ireland appears set for a ferocious backlash from South Africa on Saturday.
