    not sure how they managed that one but fair play. Absolutely clutch performance from Frawley. In fact frawleys first drop goal was the first smart bit of play all half.

    Redemption for euro final for CF

    They never threatened our try line,we deserved that,would have been a travesty if we had lost.

    They are a team of cheats.

    legends. SA would have lost the first game as well if it wasn’t for the ‘reffing’. Serves them right

    The staffers are one dimensional and aging

    Ireland played all the rugby and we're forced into played a few new faces, they should have done more if that

    I've thrown a lot of criticism towards Murray but he was excellent today. One of his best performances I thought.

    After all their antics, I don't think I could have imagined a better way to win the game.

    That will sicken the hole off Rassie. Get it up ya.

    I'll need to watch it back again but I thought we were ridden by the ref again.

    Being entirely serious, I still maintain we are a better team than S.Africa. Feels silly saying that given they are double world cup champions but I really believe it.

    Osbourne was immense. He is a serious option now at 15. Adds something completely different to what we have.

    Really shows nothing between the two teams. SA scrum will get them over the line more often than not though.

    He was really, really good.

    We lost the run of ourselves for 30 minutes but that last 10 minutes was Champion stuff.

    Frawley did exceptionally well though I'm not looking forward to the clamouring for him at 10. He could have done all that from 12 just as much.

    We did all we could against them at the wc

    20 poor minutes cost us

    I think there should be a clamour for him to start at 10 for Leinster. Do the business there and then it’s a discussion. Otherwise Crowley stays in the driving seat for now. Nailed his kicks which is what we were all asking for last well. Few block downs which he needs to iron out.

    Blade did well off the bench too I thought, very clever to win a penalty.

    And Hansen,

    I think Ireland are a better all round team than SA

    didn’t like Kolbe diving but he has history on that, but they are not a team of cheats


    Very disrespectful comment

    I appreciate they bring something different to the sport both on the field and off. It'd be boring if every team and every set of fans behaved the same way.

    I've never really got the whole "Frawley isn't a 10" thing. I really would like to see him get a proper opportunity there (for Leinster). He attacked the line well, his kicking from hand (one cross field kick aside) was great, and his hunger for taking the responsibility for the drop goals and his execution were so impressive.

    Well deserved win, imo, and I think we were the better team over the course of the two games with SA benefitting from some very iffy officiating.

    Absolutely delicious way to win that game.

    Delighted for frawley as his confidence would surely have been damaged after Tottenham.

    Ireland were much bigger winners from this tour than SA. Blooded young options, showed that we are still a very difficult team to beat on any day.

    As the song goes:

    Frawley. Frawley. Frawley.

    He should have left to play 10 for Ulster or Connacht, having Irelands 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th choice in the position all battling for the 10 shirt at Leinster is nonsensical.

    As it stands Crowley will have no real competition for his place until Cullen takes the decision to drop Ross Byrne for Prendergast which could take years.

    What a way to win it. Beating the World Champions in their own backyard. Their doggedness is so impressive. Kudos to the players and coaches - Farrell especially, because he sets the tone. Great win.

    Penalty could was 11-8 against us, felt far more skewed towards SA watching live.
