Last-gasp Kuridrani try gives Australia win over South Africa

BRISBANE (Reuters) - Tevita Kuridrani scored a last minute try to give Australia a dramatic 24-20 victory over South Africa in their Rugby Championship opener at Lang Park on Saturday. The centre crashed over the line in a scrum of bodies after the hooter had sounded and the television match official adjudged he had grounded the ball. The Springboks had looked like securing a victory on the back of a brilliant defensive effort and tries from lock Eben Etzebeth debutant centre Jesse Kriel as well as 10 points from the boot of Handre Pollard. Australia stayed in the contest with a first half try from winger Adam Ashley-Cooper and flanker Michael Hooper got them within sight of victory with another six minutes from time.
