Yes, White can draw. R + N vs. R is a draw. I've had this ending twice, once with the stronger side, which I won. And once with the weaker side which I drew. But the position should always be drawn.
Here White would love to play Bxa2 but that runs into a skewer Ra2+ and RxR. Also a problem is that Black is about to Queen. But there is a nice solution.

Great Win By Ivio
Niobium Rd 6. Ivio was a 200 rating point under-dog here. His opponent castled to the wrong side and Ivio ripped him apart.
Universe Wins
Technetium Rd 6. A long even game marred by a mouse slip. Universe got the win moving Technetium to the verge of the playoffs.
livis With The Win
Bohrium Rd 6. Black grabbed a poisoned pawn and livis made him see the error of his ways.
