Ireland clinch a remarkable first ever Test win in South Africa by beating the Springboks 26-20, despite CJ Stander's 23rd-minute red card.

Ireland have clinched a historic 26-20 Test win over South Africa in front of 42,620 stunned fans at Cape Town's Newlands Stadium, despite CJ Stander's red card.

Jared Payne's try helped Joe Schmidt's side into an early lead, and they were 10-3 ahead when, 23 minutes into the game, South Africa-born Stander was sent off for a reckless challenge on Patrick Lambie.

Ireland centre Robbie Henshaw was also sin-binned as Lwazi Mvovo's score saw the Springboks edge ahead, but Conor Murray's second-half try and eight Paddy Jackson points were enough to seal the win, despite Pieter-Steph du Toit's try.

The result marks the first ever time that the Northern Hemisphere nation has beaten the Springboks on South African soil.
