RTÉ Rugby World Cup podcast: How Ireland edged past South Africa in a RWC epic

Neil Treacy is joined on the RTÉ Rugby World Cup podcast by Jonny Holland and Mike McCarthy to look back on how Ireland edged past South Africa in an epic RWC Pool B game in Paris.

The panel discuss how Ireland tweaked their attacking shape to counter South Africa's aggressive defence (6:55).

McCarthy examines what went wrong for Ireland in their early lineout struggles, and what fixes can be made ahead of the meeting with Scotland (13:50).

Holland looks over the kicking woes of South African out-half Manie Libbok, and how it's too simple to pin South Africa's loss on their missed kicks (24:10).

And we also touch on Sunday night's blowout win for Wales, which has all but dumped Australia out of the tournament (38:27).
