Flyhalf Jordan Hendrikse, brother of Springbok scrumhalf Jaden, was named Champion of the Match, with an impressive personal tally of 21 points to guide his team home. The 21-year-old No 10 may not have been selected for the Springboks and SA A end-of-year tour but there is a sense he is something special and one for the future.
The Dragons, who were aiming to become the first Welsh side to win on SA soil in the United Rugby Championship, were unable to make history. Earlier, the Lions also had a player yellow-carded after Emmanuel Tshituka tripped an opponent when on the attack. At second glance, it seemed accidental but referee Sam Grove-White was correct according to the letter of the law.
