Peter Bills finds no problem with South Africa's heart - but a big one with their defence - in The Irish Independent.
"When the dust had settled on one of the greatest Test matches the old game had ever seen, some pertinent questions needed to be asked.
"Not whether there was still any spirit left in this defeated Springbok squad that has finished bottom of the Tri Nations table. That one was answered in bucket-loads as the Boks turned around a ruinous 31-6 deficit to lead 36-31 with minutes left.
"Only personal pride and a deep well of belief would drag a team out of that particular pit into a position to win a game. That they failed to seal the deal, when they were still in front, had possession and were less than 40 seconds from the final whistle, shattered the South Africans."
