Fly-half Demetri Catrakilis landed a drop goal after the full-time siren to claim South Africa's Southern Kings their first
Super 15 win in Australia against the Melbourne Rebels on Saturday.
The Kings, in their debut season in Super Rugby, downed the Rebels 30-27 after last week coming from behind to earn a 28-28 draw with competition leaders ACT Brumbies in Canberra.
The Rebels looked to have done enough to get the winning points after fighting back from 14-0 down to lead 27-17 with 27 minutes left.
But the Port Elizabeth-based Kings refused to give in and drew level following a converted try from Wimpie van der Walt with five minutes left.
It was left to Catrakilis to claim victory for the Kings with his drop goal after the South Africans had the ball deep in Rebels'
territory after the siren.
While the Kings were celebrating their first success in Australia and their second victory over an Australian side this
season, after beating Western Force at home in February, the Rebels have now lost all 11 of their matches against South African teams.
Just like the previous weekend against the Brumbies, the Kings never threw in the towel and showed great character to overhaul the home side at the death.
Kings skipper Andries Strauss said: "The boys showed a lot of fight today and we went up early in the game and let it slip a bit
but great character from the guys to fight back and get this win."
The Kings will return home where they will play the Bulls at home next weekend.
