The British and Irish Lions can expect “fire and anger” from vanquished South Africa in next weekend’s second test, Springbok scrumhalf Faf de Klerk has promised after a home defeat in Saturday’s first clash.
De Klerk scored a try at the Cape Town Stadium but it was not enough as the Lions roared back from nine points down at half-time to win 22-17 in an attritional contest to go 1-0 ahead in the three test series.“We are a proud nation and we'll definitely make sure that we rectify the mistakes we made," said the World Cup winning scrumhalf.
Discipline had proved South Africa’s undoing, added De Klerk, echoing the analysis of coach Jacques Nienaber after the match.
