Photo / APSouth Africa delivered the promised physical fightback and emphatically beat the British and Irish Lions 27-9 this morning to send their charged series to a third test decider next weekend. The Lions' fitness has seen them finish stronger on tour but after the Springboks scored the first of their two stylish tries, their confidence soared and they won the second half 21-0. The Lions turned desperate, instead, and, in chasing the game, made errors the Springboks were able to exploit.
