Ranked number two in the world, the Springboks had reason to be confident before Saturday's game. But they didn't count on such a determined performance by Ireland, who won 29 -15.

One sports channel was so sure of victory that they released an ad featuring an inconsolable Irish worker struggling to get through the day, along with the tagline 'making Irish Mondays miserable.'

Anyone out there feeling miserable? No?

It's things like these that make the victory all the more sweet.
