South Africa versus Lions

TheTamshee says: the Lions came out roaring, the first half display showed real committment and passion with Rob Kearney at the heart of the attack. At half time the game was nicely posed with the Bok's liking their wounds, but under estimate this great rugby nation at your peril. The tide turned in the second half when forced substitutions on both sides change the run of play. The flying Bryan Habana burst through like a steam train to breech the lions defence and cross the line to score a decisive try.
This was the turning point for the springbok's who had the experience to close out this ferocious game with a jaw dropping goal kick from the Bulls flyhalf hero Morne Steyn. The lions can take heart in the fact that they gave it their all, but on the day it was one penalty too many. So the test series was sealed for the Springboks with their 28-25 victory after they had won the first of the three tests in Durban last weekend.
