South Africa versus Lions

TheTamshee says: the British & Irish Lions, bared their teeth in the final Test at Coca-Cola Park, Johannesburg. Pride had to be restored after the agonizing defeat in the first test and the disappointment of having a drawn match snatched from there grasp in the second. The collective "Red" unit delivered a great team performance to vanquish the Bok's on their home ground. It can be noted that the springbok have not been defeated at the rugby stadium formerly known as Ellis Park, since 1997

Shane Williams played a key role in defence while taking his two try scoring chances with ease.

but the 9 -28 win was not certain until Ugo Monye intercepted to put the Lions out of reach in the second half.

Man of the match for me was the Welsh scrum-half Mike Philips, this delivery and muscularity meant the lions were able to penetrate the bok's defensive line and build the platform for running rugby. The only negative for me was the current world champions displaying a rather childish and ill advised arm band gesture. "Justice" was indeed sweet for the Lions, they out scored the Bok's 73-64 over the three test series on home soil with only two defeats over the tour. Unfortunately the two games lost were the one's that mattered.
