SPOTLIGHT: With just a few days before the Test between South Africa and Ireland in Pretoria, Rassie Erasmus has turned on the mind games.

The Springbok head coach took to social media this weekend to try and get into Ireland head coach Andy Farrell's head.

In a post on X, Erasmus predicted Ireland's matchday squad for the first of two Tests between the sides in July.

The Bok coach also took some time to compare certain stats between the matchday squads ahead of the series.

And it seems Ireland will be the heavier team next weekend.

Erasmus also hinted at his selection after revealing that his matchday squad will have a total of 1,162 caps.

After the first Test at Loftus Versfeld on July 6, the teams will meet again at Kings Park in Durban on July 13.
