The most unique British & Irish Lions series will conclude on Saturday with the result‚ perhaps fittingly‚ as nail-bitingly in the balance as a Covid-19 test.
Like their predecessors in 2009 the world champion Springboks have the opportunity to add a Lions’ scalp‚ and given their lack of preparation victory will cement their place among the great teams that have simultaneously worn the Green and Gold.
While the Lions have sought ways to improve by perhaps mixing things up this weekend‚ the Springboks will play to a familiar script. For them it is ‘more of the same’‚ which pretty much characterised the way they went about their business in Japan.“It is similar but also different to World Cup because for some of us we won’t get this opportunity again‚” noted captain Siya Kolisi on the eve of the deciding Test.
“They will be two big losses for them‚ they are both world-class players and can have a big impact on the match. They definitely will be a loss‚” observed Lions coach Warren Gatland. “Simplicity‚ discipline and accuracy‚” Lions captain Alun Wyn Jones noted the virtues they seek in the decider. “The set piece and keeping down the penalty count that went against us last week‚” he added.
