Here's what the players said after the game (per Stan Sport/Channel 9)
"It was a crazy last ten minutes, but that first 70 minutes, the way we played, we implemented our game plan. We did exactly what we wanted.
“We stepped up in the physical battle, and I'm so proud of the boys. It was always a challenge every time you take the field against the Springboks.
“I just loved the way they backed themselves. It wasn't pretty early, a few errors, but we said we're going to keep going, we're gonna keep backing ourselves and we've got some special players in that backline and we give them the ball in space. They can do some special things.”
“There's not even words to describe what happened just then. It's so out of the ordinary.
“Never seen anything like it, but so proud of the boys to, to put in that extra effort at the end, that serious care and fight that we always talk about down for men.
“We stuck in there and got the win.”
“That was unreal. That was so special for our group. We've trained so hard over the last 5-6 weeks.
“We had 11 players on the field and for us to really dig deep and have such a great challenge against the South African team and come up on top is just so proud. It's so special.
"Watching from the sidelines, I couldn't sit on my seat. The fans got around us and it was such a such an amazing experience.
“That one pushed [the heart] didn't it?
“I gotta I gotta give credit to my coaching team. They were calm up in the box. Just trying to get the right message in the right way.
“Apparently, all the boys behind the poles, when we're under stress, were very calm as well, which is very pleasing, and in those moments, you've just got to hold your nerve and stay clear about what you want to do, and I think they did that.
“A bizarre finish but I don't want us to forget about the first 60. I think it was a really important step up for us to take that game forward, control the game and really be brave and attack the game."
“It was awesome to be a part of. I didn’t know what to do on the bench, I was up and down, speaking to people, swearing but I thought everyone really ripped in.
“I thought we had a great week, great prep. The boys who didn’t play prepped us well and look, South Africa were a good side tonight and fortunately we got the choccies which was important."
