When the nation had finally gotten over that humiliating defeat to New Zealand in Albany a coupler weeks ago, the Springboks produced yet another embarrassing result against the Irish at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.

Bok coach Allister Coetzee now sits with only 9 wins from his 21 matches in charge of the national rugby team.

The Irish showed that when they beat the All Blacks it was not by chance but because they a seriously becoming a big giant in world rugby once again.

For the Boks it seems it will get worse before it gets better.  It honestly looks like for every  step we take forward the next week is followed by 10 massive backwards steps.

Coetzee looked a defeated man in his post-match conference and had no excuses for the defeat which he described as 'we let the nation down'.

Take a listen.
