Ireland weathered an early storm to lead 7-3 at half time - with Mack Hansen scoring Ireland's try.
Cheslin Kolbe sent the Springboks in front with a try early in the second half, but they missed kicks at goal and Ireland won an attritional encounter with penalties by Johnny Sexton and Jack Crowley.
