BRISBANE (Reuters) - Centre Tevita Kuridrani scored a dramatic last gasp try to give Australia a 24-20 victory over South Africa they barely deserved in their Rugby Championship opener at Lang Park on Saturday.

The Wallabies kicked for touch with a penalty that might have tied up the game before Kuridrani crashed over the line in a scrum of bodies, getting just enough pressure on the ball to convince the TV official that he had grounded it.
