IRELAND'S try-scoring scrum-half Conor Murray pointed to the squad's self-belief as the Six Nations holders toppled world champions South Africa in the most dramatic fashion in Durban on Saturday afternoon. Ciaran Frawley was the Ireland hero as his drop goal sailed over in the final moments to seal a famous 25-24 win for Andy Farrell's side. Afterwards, 35-year-old Limerick scrum-half Murray who played a crucial role in the success, including darting over for a precious first half try, said it was incredible to win the Test and secure a draw in the series.
The vastly experienced Murray was recalled to Ireland's starting line-up after his Munster team-mate Craig Casey was concussed in the first Test Murray said: “Incredible just to come here to the world champion’s back yard and we knew how tough it would be. It was last week (in the first test) and it was again today. “South Africa don’t lose easy, they find a way (to stay in the game) and its so frustrating at times to play against.
Look, we believed in ourselves. “Coming into South Africa’s backyard is was always going to be a big challenge and I think we can be really proud. “Last week hurt, it was a tough defeat.
But to turn up this week and we knew we were getting our break at the end of the week; the boys fronted up and committed to this week. "These are rare times, it's such a tough thing to do!" Conor Murray reacts to Ireland's last-gasp winner to beat South Africa pic.twitter.
