Ireland face the world champions in Stellenbosch on Saturday.
Leinster's Jamie Osborne is set for a surprise pick at full back when Ireland head coach Andy Farrell names his starting 15 this afternoon for Saturday's first test against South Africa in Pretoria.
Robbie Henshaw will be in the mix continue to hold down the centre off the back of a strong season.
He'll be competing for a spot alongside either Gary Ringrose or Bundee Aki.
Munster's Craig Casey is likely to receive the call at scrum half in the absence of Jamison Gibson Park.
