In 2018, Bongi Mbonambi scored an 85th-minute try as the Springboks snatched a dramatic 29-26 win over France in Paris.

As the clock ticked into the red, Rassie Erasmus’ men looked set for a disappointing tour defeat.

However, the Boks – who had trailed 23-9 early in the second half – were able to launch one last attack.

First, winger Aphiwe Dyantyi looked to have scored, but his try was ruled out after what was adjudged to be a forward pass from fullback Willie le Roux.

The Boks were playing under advantage, though, and they set up a lineout once again, and this time hooker Mbonambi scored from a beautifully set maul for the visitors to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
