As if the Ireland v South Africa rivalry didn’t need any more angles. Leinster coach Jacques Nienaber seemed to provide another when he gave an interesting, in-depth interview to SuperSport in the week leading up to the Springboks victory at the Aviva Stadium recently. Speaking to the South African broadcaster, the World Cup winning coach said he ‘missed the Springboks’ and discussed his contract length with Leinster which ends at the end of 2027 domestic season.
Former Ireland international Luke Fitzgerald and BBC Northern Ireland sports journalist Jonathan Bradley joined Will Slattery on this week’s The Left Wing podcast to breakdown Nienaber’s comments on how the Leinster players and coaching staff will feel having heard them.
