Ciaran Frawley emerged as the hero for Ireland in a thrilling 25-24 victory over South Africa in Durban, securing a 1-1 draw in the two-Test series. Frawley, who had missed a crucial drop-goal seven weeks earlier, redeemed himself by kicking two decisive drop goals in the final minutes, including the game-winner after the hooter. Ireland had dominated the first half but struggled in the second as South Africa's Handre Pollard scored eight penalties. Despite being a man down for 10 minutes, Ireland held on, thanks to Frawley's heroics, to clinch their second-ever win on South African soil. Captain Caelan Doris emphasized the team's belief and determination in the closing stages.
