It would be a cop-out to predict a draw but I honestly think that is a possibility. It happened the last time the Lions toured when the deciding Test against the All Blacks ended 15-15. So with a gun to my head, I back the Springboks to continue the momentum from their 27-9 second Test victory and win by less than five points. Last week the Lions could not pick up where they left off in the first Test because the Boks were always going to be less rusty after getting a game under the belt.
The No 5 made a match-winning contribution in the line-outs and tightloose as a substitute in the second Test, and he can now do so for 80 minutes.

Considering how the Boks completely outplayed the Lions in the second half last week, it’s pretty hard to imagine the tourists topping that in the decider.
