South Africa beat Ireland 24-13 in a chaotic Aviva Stadium clash on November 22, 2025, as Ireland’s five disciplinary cards—including a red to James Ryan—left them down to 12 men. Rassie Erasmus earned his first Dublin win over Ireland, ending their three-match winning streak.

In my latest blog, we've delved into the quirky world of tennis and asked the question: "Why don't tennis balls have a hole for re-inflating?"
