A recent two-test series against Ireland has provided crucial preparation for South Africa's upcoming Rugby Championship fixtures against Australia, according to lock RG Snyman.
The World Cup-winning team narrowly edged the Six Nations champions 27-20 in Pretoria but lost 25-24 in Durban due to a last-minute drop goal.
Snyman emphasized the value of facing top-ranked teams like Ireland in preparing for the Southern Hemisphere championship, which starts this Saturday. He also noted the strategic advantages gained from Joe Schmidt's coaching insights, contributing to South Africa's readiness.
