Proud Doris and Murray hail Ireland’s fighting spirit

Captain Caelan Doris allowed himself the luxury of calling parts of Ireland’s second half display against the Springboks a “shit show”, although that might be a bit harsh on his team.

Ireland fought back to level the two-Test series 1-1 thanks to a 25-24 win in a frothing Kings Park in Durban. Two late drop-goal from Ciaran Frawley won the day after the Boks came roaring back from 16-6 down at halftime to lead 24-19 going into the last 10 minutes.
