Rory Keane reports from Johannesburg
JOE SCHMIDT HAS handed South Africa native Quinn Roux his Test debut among five changes to his starting line-up ahead of Saturday’s rematch with the Springboks at Ellis Park Stadium [KO 4pm Irish time, Sky Sports 1].

Craig Gilroy, Stuart Olding, Tadhg Furlong, Roux and Rhys Ruddock have all been included in Ireland’s starting XV ahead of the crunch rematch with Springboks in Johannesburg.
Connacht fullback Tiernan O’Halloran and Ulster back row Sean Reidy could make their Ireland debuts off the bench.
A gruelling season that began with a pre-World Cup training camp back in July of the last year, the physical toll of defending with 14 men for almost an hour last weekend, and playing at altitude has influenced Schmidt’s thinking with regards to freshening up his side.
Gilroy replaces Keith Earls and will form an all-Ulster back three alongside Jared Payne and Andrew Trimble while Olding comes in for his provincial team-mate Luke Marshall at inside centre.
Olding, who last started for Ireland against Georgia back in November 2014, will link up with Robbie Henshaw in a new-look Irish midfield. Paddy Jackson and Conor Murray continue at half-back after their outstanding displays at Newlands.
Mike Ross, who has been virtually ever-present during Schmidt’s time in charge, drops out for his Leinster team-mate Tadgh Furlong, who makes his first Test start having won all of his six previous caps from the bench.
Most surprising of all the changes is Roux’s promotion to the starting line-up alongside Devin Toner, having been on the periphery of Connacht’s starting side this season.

In starting, Roux will play against his native country. The 25-year-old initially moved to Ireland to join Schmidt at Leinster in 2012, before making a switch to Connacht in 2014, first on loan before signing permanently.
With CJ Stander unavailable due to his one-match ban, Iain Henderson moves from the second row to the blindside, with Ruddock coming in for Jordi Murphy at openside flanker.
Ruddock last started in the number seven shirt for Ireland as a late call-up for Chris Henry on the morning of Ireland’s 29-15 victory against the Boks in November 2014 at the Aviva Stadium. Jamie Heaslip remains at number eight.
Earls, Ross, Marshall, Murphy, Ultan Dillane, Sean Cronin, and the suspended Stander are all absent from the matchday 23, with Richardt Strauss, Dave Kilcoyne, Donnacha Ryan, Reidy and O’Halloran all coming onto the bench

NSW WARATAHS COACH Daryl Gibson has revealed that they are “definitely interested” in signing code-hopping star Jarryd Hayne.
The future of former San Francisco 49ers running-back Hayne — who played eight times for the NFL franchise last year — is uncertain as he attempts to earn Olympic Games selection for Fiji’s sevens squad.
A return to rugby league and NRL, where he received two Dally M Medals during his eight years with Parramatta Eels, has been mooted, but a switch to rugby union and Super Rugby could also be on the cards.
“He’s a talented player… he’s one hell of a player and I think we’d be definitely interested. Everything is depending on our salary cap, of course,” Gibson said.
“Most of the top 20 or 30 players — I don’t know the absolute numbers — but certainly the players are topped up to some degree so 100% [a Super Rugby club could afford him].
“His commercial value… I’m sure the ARU (Australian Rugby Union) would be keen to maximise that and get the best players playing our code.”

Reports from down under suggest that the ARU “has had more than one meeting with the 28-year-old’s management in the past fortnight to try and gauge his interest in playing the 15-a-side game for a Super Rugby franchise”.

THERE IS NO chance of Pool one’s top seeds underestimating their fourth-seeded opponents. At least, the coaching box won’t.
The French champions, with defence coach Ronan O’Gara assisting their efforts, will carry several extra layers of intrigue when they go to Thomond Park this year.
Source: Billy Stickland/INPHO
The clash will be even more telling as Munster’s attack was so problematic last season. Johan Erasmus will have about six weeks of Pro12 action to coax his side into an offensive rhythm in the Pro12 before European tests come around.
Racing 92 may not be the opening weekend opposition, but with such a familiar and high-profile defence coach trying to thwart the southern province, the pressure for Rassie to impress and stunt the legend in exile’s rapid progress on the coaching ladder will be well and truly on.

Nothing to fear for Connacht
The overwhelming reaction when the first two clubs followed the Pro12 champions in to Pool 2 wasn’t trepidation. It was excitement about the entertainment that surely lies ahead. It’s fitting too, given the fearless manner in which Pat Lam sends his team out to attack.
With Zebre tagged on as fourth seeds, there is no reason for Connacht to suddenly seize up with worry.
Wasps proved themselves a match for almost anybody last season with George Smith and Charles Piutau at the heart of a team that gave us edge-of-the-seat moments until Saracens finally edged them out at the semi-final – but they will be weaker without those two.
Source: Billy Stickland/INPHO
Toulouse obviously carry an air of dynasty about them, but their glories are very much in the former category. It’s four years since they won the Top 14 or made the final, it’s six years since they were European champions.
Most importantly, Connacht have a happy history of facing them – capped off with the incredible win in the south of France midway through Lam’s first season in charge.
Leinster’s tough task feels more achievable than last term
When it came time for Munster’s ball to be drawn from the bowl, there were two places they could end up. And no sensible Munster fan was annoyed at meeting the French champions when the alternative option was going in between Saracens and Toulon.
In the case of provinces east and north, the draw feels a bit of a reprieve compared to last season. Leinster remember finished bottom of a pool with in-form Wasps, Bath and Toulon. In Montpellier, Northampton and Castres they have a much more realistic route to the quarter-finals — or, they will if they can avoid two home defeats pre-Christmas.
Formidable, not unbeatable, opposition
Ulster will probably just be glad that Saracens can steer clear of Belfast for at least a few more months. The reigning English and European champions are a sapping opponent to face both mentally and physically. So while Clermont and Exeter are formidable in their own right, they needn’t be feared like the complete machine that Ulster have fallen foul of before.
There might just be an extra layer of rivalry brought by Pool 5′s fourth seeds too. Ian Madigan will be fully bedded-in in the south western France when European ties come around. And will hope to be handed the reins for his first appearance in Kingspan Stadium since Paddy Jackson re-jigged the Ireland out-half pecking order.

Connacht 5Glasgow Warriors 41
By John Fallon at the Sportsground
CONNACHT, HAVING ONLY lost once at home last season, suffered their biggest-ever opening day defeat in the 16-year history of the league.
It was a deflating defeat for the champions as they were blown away by a Glasgow side who clearly learned a lot from two defeats at the Sportsground in the business end of last season.
A crowd of just 6,063 turned up at the Galway venue to watch Connacht play their first match since they won the first ever trophy they won in their 131-year history.
And while that crowd created a great atmosphere as the Guinness Pro12 trophy was brought on to the field prior to the game, the celebratory mood did not last as things unraveled on the field.

Connacht, having only played one preseason game, looked rusty and far removed from the side which marched to the Pro12 title in such style.
Irish coach Joe Schmidt was in attendance as the champions of the past two seasons squared up, but a blustery evening made it extremely difficult for these two exciting sides to play their usual expansive game.

Glasgow, beaten twice at the Sportsground at the end of last season, had the strong wind behind them playing into the College Road end, but lineouts and any kicking was difficult regardless of whether playing with or against the gust.
But Glasgow managed to get wide often enough for former Ulster winger Tommy Seymour to get over for a brace of tries in the opening half to lead 13-5 at the interval.
He struck for the first after eleven minutes just shortly after doing well to deny Niyi Adeolokun at the other end, finishing in style in the left corner after the Scots worked the ball across the field to create the overlap.
Henry Pyrgos extended the lead with a penalty after 25 minutes from 30 metres in front of the posts but the Connacht scrum got on top and won some invaluable possession.
Glasgow No.8 Ryan Wilson, just back on the field after a blood injury, was binned for a late challenge on Jack Carty and Connacht used the advantage well.
The Pro12 player of the year Bundee Aki was key to the creation of Connacht’s first try of the season, with props Denis Buckley and Finlay Bealham showing good hands before Eoin Griffin, back after two seasons with London Irish, set up Adeolokun and he did superbly to beat Pyrgos to score in the left corner after seven minutes.
But Connacht got caught three minutes from the break even with the extra man, when Glasgow went wide down the right and Stuart Hogg sent Seymour on his way to score, neatly stepping inside debutant Cian Kelleher for his second touchdown of the game.

Glasgow got on top after the restart and launched a series of raids on the home line, with impressive new signing from Zebre Sarto held up by some frantic defending.
But the pressure paid off and Stuart Hogg did well to finish after getting between Griffin and Matt Healy as the home defence was again stretched, with Pyrgos adding the conversion to make it 20-5 after 46 minutes.
Connacht needed to get the next score to get back in the match but the error count kept rising and it was Glasgow who sealed the issue and wrapped up the bonus point after 53 minutes.
Once again the superb Pyrgos was heavily involved with lock Tim Swinson becoming the first Glasgow forward to score. Pyrgos converted to make it 27-5.
It got worse for Connacht after 59 minutes when replacement prop Sila Puafisi scored after Pyrgos was held up short, with the scrum-half picking himself up to slot the conversion as they pulled away to a facile victory on a six try to one margin, which will see buzzing with confidence when they entertain Leinster next weekend.
CONNACHT: Cian Kelleher; Niyi Adeolokun, Eoin Griffin (Peter Robb ’55), Bundee Aki, Matt Healy; Jack Carty (Shane O’Leary ’66), Caolin Blade (Kieran Marmion ’48); Denis Buckley (Ronan Loughney ’50), Tom McCartney (Dave Heffernan ’61), Finlay Bealham (JP Cooney ’61); Ultan Dillane (Lewis Stevenson ’61), Danny Qualter; Eoin McKeon, Nepia Fox-Matamua, John Muldoon (James Connolly ’72).

THE LIONS RAN in five tries as they secured a first Super Rugby final appearance with a resounding 42-30 victory over defending champions Highlanders at Ellis Park.
Elton Jantjies, Rohan Janse van Resnburg, Courtnall Skosan, Jaco Kriel and Lourens Erasmus all crossed for the home side, who hit the front after 12 minutes and set a blistering tempo that left their opponents reeling.
Leading 17-6 at the break, the Lions moved further ahead at the start the second period as Skosan grabbed his 10th try of the season, before Matt Faddes’ swift response briefly raised the possibility of a Highlanders comeback.

But Kriel’s subsequent five-pointer nipped those hopes in the bud and a superb breakaway try from Erasmus put the icing on the cake for Johan Ackerman’s side.
Fly-half Lima Sopoaga crossed for the Highlanders midway through the second half, while Waisake Naholo and Joe Wheeler found the line in the last four minutes, but their efforts did little other than make the scoreline look more respectable for the New Zealanders, who were second-best throughout.
The result capped a remarkable turnaround for the Lions who were relegated from the competition in 2012 but won 12 games in this year’s regular season and ended it tied with the Chiefs as the top try-scorers.

And their achievement was rendered all the more impressive by the fact they were without influential skipper Warren Whiteley, who missed out due to a calf injury, and had suffered a 34-15 defeat at the hands of the Highlanders in Dunedin earlier in the campaign.
The South Africans will now travel to Wellington to face the Hurricanes in next weekend’s final after Chris Boyd’s men downed the Chiefs in the other semi.

FOR 22 YEARS, Gordon Tietjens ruled New Zealand sevens rugby with an iron fist, bringing unprecedented success and introducing stars such as Jonah Lomu and Christian Cullen to the world.
Tietjens, 60, who announced today he is quitting, began his tenure in the amateur era, was coaching New Zealand when the Sevens World Series was formed in 1999-2000 and bowed out on sport’s biggest stage, the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
Through his more than two decades in charge, he was renowned as the toughest trainer in the game, giving his players an athleticism that dominated the sevens circuit for years.
Some complained they vomited through sheer exertion, while one of his favourite training ground exercise was called ‘death’ because of the dread it induced in his charges.
Current All Blacks fullback Ben Smith said Tietjens was “one of a kind”, who pushed him to the limit.
“He always tries to make sure that you’re really struggling, and then he tests you,” he told Fairfax New Zealand.
The hard work paid off for Tietjens, resulting in 12 Sevens World Series titles, four Commonwealth gold medals and two Sevens World Cup crowns.
It was a future few had seen for a one-time Bay of Plenty forward regarded as skilled but a little too lightweight to compete in the 15-man game.
But he ended up being a mentor to some of the greatest All Blacks in history, including the game’s first global superstar Jonah Lomu, who made an immediate impact on debut as New Zealand won the 1994 Hong Kong Sevens in Tietjens’ first year in charge.
Lomu went on to star for the All Blacks in the 1995 and 1999 World Cups, but would be called upon time and again by Tietjens for sevens duty, propelling New Zealand to Commonwealth Games gold in 1998 and the Sevens World Cup in 2001 in Argentina.
“[Lomu] basically single-handedly won us our first World Cup in South America,” Tietjens said.
“Quite incredible for someone who was so big, so quick, so strong. He probably wasn’t as fit as I’d want as a coach but he gave me everything else.”
Tietjens’ no-holds-barred approach worked for years but was challenged by rivals of similar intensity when sevens was confirmed as an Olympic sport.
The coach said he was “incredibly disappointed” his team came fifth in Rio.
“But we have to acknowledge just how far sevens rugby has come,” he said.
“It’s become intensely competitive and the Olympics proved just how tough it is to win at this level these days.”

Munster 49
Zebre 5
IRELAND INTERNATIONAL PETER O’Mahony was introduced on the hour as Munster claimed a comfortable bonus point victory over Zebre at Thomond Park.
O’Mahony had not played for Munster since they beat Ospreys in May 2015, due to an injury he picked up for Ireland against France in the World Cup. He was welcomed back after coming on in place of Darren O’Shea.
CJ Stander touched down twice while Darren Sweetnam, Conor Murray, Simon Zebo and Stephen Archer also scored along with a penalty try – Gabriele Di Giulio grabbed the consolation for Zebre.
Munster director of rugby Rassie Erasmus had made eight changes after the bonus point win over Edinburgh in Round four.
Munster had won eight from eight against Zebre in the Pro12 and didn’t lose in Thomond Park so far this year. And with a 28-0 lead at half-time they were in control against Zebre at the break, following a clinical display from the hosts.

Sweetnam scored the first try in the second minute and Murray scored his third try in seven days shortly after. Tyler Bleyendaal converted both tries and Munster were rampant, Stander adding to Zebre’s woes just before the half-hour.
The Italian side had no answer, instead Zebo secured the bonus point in the 32nd minute and Bleyendaal’s conversion gave him a perfect record in the first-half, and Munster a 28-0 half-time lead.

Munster got a penalty try before Archer crossed for their sixth effort. Di Giulio got Zebre’s only try in the 72nd minute but Stander rounded off an impressive win with two minutes remaining.
