CAPE TOWN: British & Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland has accused South Africa’s Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus of"trying to wind us up" after he insinuated the tourists were scared to face South Africa 'A' again on Saturday.
The Lions will instead play local franchise the Stormers, while South Africa have lined up a fixture against the Pretoria-based Bulls. Both games will be in Cape Town. "Last night he was the water-boy and running around the pitch , but if you are the water-boy, I think you have to make sure you are carrying water."I don’t understand what his role was. You don’t run onto the pitch giving messages if you are a water boy without water.""We are pretty excited, it was a physical game and we will be pretty pumped for next week. We know what is coming, I think they will have some sore bodies today.
