South Africa 27-9 British and Irish Lions: 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.
South Africa director of rugby Rassie Erasmus had made himself the centre of attention during the week by postingcritiquing referee Nic Berry's work in the Lions' opening win.The New Zealander was put through his paces by two emotionally charged sides, with 40 minutes of first-half playing time taking 62 minutes to complete because of stoppages needed for officiating decisions.
The Lions were dealt a bigger blow when Duhan Van der Merwe was given a yellow card for his trip on Cheslin Kolbe. The Lions were hoping to go 2-0 up in a series for the first time since 1997 - the year the tourists last claimed a series win in South Africa.
