'Microscopic' attention to details powers Ireland, says Nienaber

"The amount of detail they go into is incredible," said the coach who quit the Springboks after the 2023 World Cup final triumph over New Zealand and joined Irish provincial giants Leinster. "It is microscopic. I did not do more than a tenth of the detail in South Africa that they do," he admitted in a documentary series on the latest of four Springbok World Cup triumphs. The countries clash on Saturday in Pretoria and seven days later in Durban in a highly anticipated two-Test series to be watched by 50,000-plus sell-out crowds.
