Love your take on this.Much respect from this Kiwi!😎

Nothing but respect for Ireland...brought the game to SA, and we rarely looked like winning. The amount of blood from the SA players, shows how much fire the Irish brought. Even with injuries, your boys just slotted in the next player in line, and Ireland played without missing a beat. Well done, the rivalry between the Boks and Ireland is alive and well, founded on a mutual respect.

As a Saffa I can only respect this Irish team. They never gave up and played as if their lives depended on it. What two drop goals at the end by Frawley. Well deserved in the end. Both teams could have won both tests. 1-1 is a fair result. An incredible series by the two top teams in the world. Fair play to Ireland. Enjoy the victory.

Farrell is incredible at bringing out the best in players.

Irish players need to get a lot of the credit too. They've been improving with every coach not long after the game went pro. First Gatland, then EOS, Kidney, Schmidt and Farrell. The common denominator is they've evolved and gotten better with each coach. In saying that, I've always been a huge fan of Farrell and think he's doing a superb job especially when it comes to player selection. He's making Cullen look like an amateur.

Proud of Andy Farrell for getting our boy out of their WC downer and seriously proud of the boys for stepping up against the best and hurting them, they can rock with the best in the world when they want too, just incredible guys, well done ,one and all, Frawley, needs to be respected from now on, more than earned it, we have been crying for him in Leinster to be getting starts, please let it happen

Performance of Osborne and Frawley raises questions about why Leinster are not playing them regularly at 15 and 10 respectively. If Cullen persists in playing them out of their natural positions I think he will come under severe questioning

Ireland are in good hands with Andy Farrell. Too many of these eejits in the Media in Ireland 📢

Thought this was about the Ireland SA test, but thanks for getting us all up to speed on Leinster. Thanks SA!!! Thanks to the Irish team, what a game. SA visitors to Ireland will find they are treated a bit more special from now on.

There is some real shenanigans going on at Leinster. Delighted to see Cullen landed right in it with his selections.

First half was sensational well done Ireland Boks tried but not good enough on the day

We didnt look like world Champs Congratulations Ireland

What a great win! Brilliant first half and then that storm that came at them in the second half. Giving away penalties again but, to be fair, it was because of the relentless Boks pressure, Ireland took most of their chances but got held up over the line again and Doris was almost in for a try but was held up by a brilliant tackle. All in all, I think Ireland will be happy and the Boks will feel they let it slip from their grasp in the end. It was a Boks mistake to give away that lineout to Ireland at the end. Boks player should not have touched that ball,

It is testament to Andy Farrell to turn this team twice from world cup blues, absolutely stunning performance against the number 1 team in the world, well done all, stunning. If Frawley does not get the 10 shirt at Leinster after this , I will as a season ticket holder stop going, we have been screaming for this for years, Leo needs to cop on or go.

Do Leinster not have like season ticket holder meetings? Where the coaches etc come talk to the fans before/after a season? Just tell Leo at one of those.

The marathon season has finaly ended with a blood splattered head on collision collision cruncher in Durban last Saturday with A deserved victory for Ireland against a great South African opponent. A second victory in our last three meetings against the Boks in recent months, with last Saturday being the sweetest of the lot is a terrific achievement for Andy Farrell and his squad. I believe Ciaran Frawley played Gaelic football with Skerries Harps before changing to the oval ball and was no stranger to kicking the ball over the bar which he did with some aplomb on Saturday superbly with the oval ball . Great to finish the season in style, enjoy the holliers lads.

Murray is pure class. Cool as a cucumber

Frawley really believed they could win it, when most of the team was flagging, he had the energy and desire to grasp it, as said, by that stage Ireland are usually running on fumes ie. the gallant 37 phases v NZ. Just awesome to see someone step up and carry the team forward, just an awesome effort.

Given that the Irish team were overwhelmingly made up of Leinster players you'd have to question that province's managemt in failing to bring in silverware over the last few years.

If Farrell was able to get Ireland up for the second test, why wasn't Cullen able to do the same?

I saw Tim Eggchaser in the background.

Healy finally gets decent minutes and shows what he can offer. They have wasted years giving him f@#k all time on pitch. Even with so few minutes for years he didn't miss a beat.

Outstanding performance from Ireland.

Murray is still a far better option than casey who isn't within an asses roar of jgp. Blade was the 2nd best 9 in the country for a bit and was unfortunate not to make the 23. Casey is one of those players who everyone wants to be a great player but he's not there. I thought he was having a great game v Italy until jgp came on and the improvement was drastic.

Another video saying James Ryan could have been culpable. For what?? What could Ryan have been penalised for? Entering a rick aggressively? Hes entitled to enter the ruck like that. If someone else is 80% through a roll its not on him, even if he flattens the ruck.
