CAPE TOWN : British & Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland bemoaned missed opportunities as his side narrowly lost the third and decisive test to South Africa on Saturday.

"I’m disappointed obviously but really proud of the effort of the boys. I thought we were bold and positive and we went out there to play some rugby," said Gatland. "It was never going to be easy going away from home and playing against the world champions. It could have gone either way." Steyn also kicked the winning penalty when South Africa won their last series against the Lions 12 years ago when Gatland served as an assistant coach.
