Ciaran Frawley struck a brilliant drop-goal with the last kick of the game as Ireland edged South Africa 25-24 to earn a draw in a captivating series between the world's top two sides.

At the end of a brutal second half in which South Africa battered an error-strewn Irish side to overturn a 16-6 half-time deficit, Frawley seized his chance and lifted the tourists to victory in the most dramatic fashion.

But replacement fly-half Frawley, whose first drop-goal brought Ireland to within three points, nailed a do-or-die kick from distance to spark ecstatic celebrations from the Six Nations champions.

In other tests, the All Blacks beat England 24-17, Australia beat Wales 36-28, while Georgia edged Japan 25-23.
