The Springboks don’t boast a stellar record at the ground – formerly known as Lansdowne Road – having lost six and drawn one of their previous 15 Tests dating back to 1912.
That represents a win percentage of 53.3%.
South Africa haven’t tasted success at the Aviva Stadium since 2012, having lost the last three matches, including a record 38-3 defeat in November 2017.
Their last win at the stadium came 13 years ago when the Jean de Villiers-captained and Heyneke Meyer-coached side won 16-12.
