The Left Wing Irish Independent

Luke Fitzgerald, Will Slattery and Jonathan Bradley look back on Ireland's epic win over South Africa on the latest episode of The Left Wing.

Although it was billed as the world's best attack vs the world's best defence, Luke and Jonathan were more impressed with Ireland's rearguard action against the reigning champions.

However, there was plenty of criticism for some of Rassie Erasmus' selection decisions and tactics as South Africa came up short.

Ireland's preparations for Scotland, their bench options and Eddie Jones' Australia debacle are all up for discussion.
