The British and Irish Lions overturned a nine-point deficit to draw first blood in the Test triple header against the Springboks – Maro Itoje, Alun Wyn Jones and Courtney Lawes the brightest sparks in an outstanding second half performance. A tetchy war of words has broken out since, and the reigning World Cup champions are sure to respond with a renewed vigour, so read on as our guide explains how to watch a Lions vs South Africa live stream for the second Test match from anywhere in the world.
The mystery of the Jaco Johan Twitter account that definitely isn’t run by Rassie Erasmus has provided no end of entertainment, but Warren Gatland will be urging his men to keep their eyes on the prize even as his opposite number goes on the wind-up.
The Lions are still haunted by memories of the 2001 Tour that went wrong, and Jacques Nienaber will be looking for another fast start, in order to bring any lingering doubts to the forefront of Lions’ minds.
Mako Vunipola – who raised Erasmus’ ire – has forced his way into the Lions starting lineup alongside Conor Murray and Chris Harris, while Steven Kitshoff, Jasper Wiese and Frans Malherbe are in for the Springboks.
It’s do or die for South Africa, who exploded out of the blocks last weekend before fading spectacularly, so follow our guide as we explain all the ways to get a Lions vs South Africa live stream of the second Test match wherever you are right now.
