Springboks level series in fiery encounter

The British and Irish Lions’ series with South Africa will go to a decider after the Springboks won a fiery second Test 27-9 at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday.

The Lions led after a cagey first half as Dan Biggar’s three penalties trumped Handre Pollard’s two, while a player from each side went to the sin-bin. But a stylish Makazole Mapimpi try gave the world champions a narrow two-point lead at the start of the second half. The hosts continued to dominate and Lukhanyo Am’s score sealed victory.
