South Africa needed two late tries to make sure of a 22-6 win over Italy in their Autumn International in Pedova this afternoon.
It looked like it would be a comfortable afternoon for the Springboks when Coenie Oosthuizen sprinted over for an early try after Pat Lambie had already kicked a penalty.
Kelly Haimona added two penalties before the break to keep the home side in contention, despite them creating few try-scoring opportunities in the opening 40 minutes.
After a quiet start to the second half, the visitors did manage to extend their advantage as Cobus Reinach touched the ball down in the corner after a quick break.
South Africa put the win beyond doubt in the final minute when Bryan Habana burst over for the 57th international try of his career.
