It could be an evening to remember for the Ireland rugby team if they manage to beat world champions South Africa in their test this afternoon.

Andy Farrell has a depleted squad to choose from with the likes of Hugo Keenan, Jamison Gibson-Park and Mack Hansen all missing the two-test tour of South Africa.

But the two best teams in recent years will face off in what should be an epic encounter this afternoon.

Here is everything you need to know about the game.

Where is the game on?

The match will take place in Loftus Versfeld stadium in Pretoria, South Africa.

What time is the game?

The match kicks off at 4 PM Irish time. Local time in the stadium will be 5 PM.

What TV channel is it on and can I stream it?

Sky Sports have won the rights to air Ireland's Summer Test Series, and will air the game live on Sky Sports Action, with coverage beginning at 3:30 PM. If you don't have a Sky subscription, a NOWTV day pass would allow you to stream the match live.
