Ireland face Gregor Townsend’s Scotland on October 7.
Ireland lead their group on 14 points after backing up bonus-point victories over Romania and Tonga in style in front of tens of thousands of Irish fans in the French capital.
Yet the Springboks and upcoming opponents Scotland can still deny Test rugby’s top-ranked nation a place in the knockout rounds. Easterby says Six Nations champions Ireland have proven they are a team for big occasions, having defeated each of their major rivals during the past two years, including last summer’s historic tour success over the All Blacks.
“That’s not a one-off,” he said of the weekend result. “We’ve done it in New Zealand, we’ve done it in the autumn series last year against South Africa so that doesn’t surprise us.“I guess the level of physicality and the brutality of the game these days, that’s something that the players have got to get their heads around and to a man they did that.“The support was incredible and those of us who were lucky enough to be at the stadium will remember that type of support for a long time.
