Help Rassie Erasmus select the Springbok match-day 23 for the blockbuster clash with Ireland in Dublin on Saturday.

Bok giants Eben Etzebeth and Lood de Jager are locked in, skipper Siya Kolisi is an anchor tenant in a settled loose trio with Pieter-Steph du Toit and Jasper Wiese, and Damian Willemse is a shoo-in to call the shots at flyhalf with experienced centres Damian de Allende and Jesse Kriel outside him.
