CAPE TOWN :Veteran Morne Steyn kicked over a last-gasp penalty to hand South Africa a narrow 19-16 victory over British and Irish Lions in the third and final test on Saturday to seal a 2-1 victory in a controversy-laden series.

Handre Pollard also kicked two penalties, while Finn Russell converted Owens' try and added three penalties for the Lions. The Lions were much more positive than in the first two tests, and at times were inventive and expansive with ball in hand, turning down kickable penalties in search of more. Pollard put the Boks ahead with a penalty after a dangerous attack into the Lions’ 22, but the visitors won a scrum penalty and Russell was able to level the score.

Pollard missed two penalties, but then came a moment of magic from Kolbe that gave the Boks the lead. A high ball was not collected by number eight Jasper Wiese, but referee Mathieu Raynal ruled, with the help of Television Match Official Marius Jonker, that the ball had gone straight up and not forward.
