Ronan O'Gara has hailed Warren Gatland after the Lions started their test series against the Springboks with an impressive win in Cape Town. Trailing 12-3 at the break, the Lions battled back with a try from Luke Cowan-Dickie to ultimately claim a 22-17 win. This tour is Gatland's third as head coach, and he has yet to lose a test series, with the Lions now one win away from sealing a memorable triumph. I thought the Lions showed incredible mental resilience to stay on task and do that because it wasn't looking pretty times." O'Gara was also impressed with how the Lions regrouped at half time having trailed by nine points.
