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.
The Lions will also seek improvement in the set piece and the introduction of the fit-again loosehead prop Wyn Jones they hope offers redress.
“Simplicity‚ discipline and accuracy‚” Lions captain Alun Wyn Jones noted the virtues they seek in the decider.While the Boks with their python-like method will seek to suffocate the Lions‚ the tourists are less agoraphobic and will be desperate to explore the wide open spaces.“If we can do that we can stay away from anything that might slow us down.”
Last week they lost the collisions‚ the hard yards and the referee’s undivided attention. The Lions have a lot to recapture‚ but win or lose‚ their relevance doesn’t rank among it.- Willie le Roux; Cheslin Kolbe‚ Lukhanyo Am‚ Damian de Allende‚ Makazole Mapimpi; Handre Pollard‚ Cobus Reinach; Jasper Wiese‚ Franco Mostert‚ Siya Kolisi ; Lood de Jager‚ Eben Etzebeth; Frans Malherbe‚ Bongi Mbonambi‚ Steven Kitshoff.
