'We didn't do the dog on it' - No immediate injury concerns as Ireland savour victory over Springboks

Josh van der Flier needed attention early in the 13-8 victory for what looked like a hand injury but scrum coach John Fogarty issued a positive initial medical bulletin to reporters on Sunday morning.
