South Africa head coach Jacques Nienaber made a bizarre match-fixing comment ahead of the game.
Ireland fans have blasted 'match fixing' comments made by South Africa coach Jacques Nienaber ahead of this Saturday's clash against Scotland.
Although an outside chance, both Ireland and Scotland can qualify if Scotland top the group on points difference, and Ireland go through in second due to beating South Africa earlier in the tournament. "Could I believe in a scenario that they will decide 'do we want to get this amount of points and then get South Africa out of the way?' That would probably be match-fixing, I would say. I hope not.
And Ireland fans have blasted the comments made by Nienaber, taking to social media to voice their discontent.
