Frawley’s late heroics secured a series draw against the back-to-back world champions.
Ireland rookie Ciaran Frawley revelled in his match-winning contribution after landing a last-gasp drop goal to stun world champions South Africa in Durban.
“This place is a fortress and it’s so loud. The game was going back and forth, they got momentum there probably for most of the second half. But Frawley sensationally added to 14 points from Ireland number 10 Jack Crowley to snatch a statement success from Farrell’s 50th Test as head coach. “We knew what an unbelievable test it was coming over here at the end of the season, playing against the double world champions. We’re definitely happy to finish it on a high.”
“Coming into South Africa’s backyard is always going to be a big challenge and we can be really proud.” Springboks captain Siya Kolisi believes the series has firmly established a rivalry between the countries on the back of his side retaining the World Cup last year following a 13-8 pool-stage loss to Ireland in Paris.
