#BRITISH TV SERIES SET IN AFRICA SERIES#
Who many more Lions tours ahead of him and he will be a series winner in 2025. Tom Curry: Played and started all three Tests on his first tour aged just 23. Neat footwork to move the Boks close to the gainline.
6Ĭourtney Lawes: Ran himself into the ground after getting fit to start every single Test. 8Īlun Wyn Jones (c): Twelve Tests and almost-certainly now out at the age of 35 as he became the first player to play all Tests in four consecutive tours. Maro Itoje: Set-up Owens' try and punched holes in the Boks defence with some tasty line breaks. Tadhg Furlong: Locked down the scrum and carried hard - had the edge in the early scrums and tighthead looked back to his carrying best also.
Ken Owens: Scored the first half driving maul try and should have had another if it wasn't for Tom Curry just popping out of the side of the pack as they rattled to the try line. Wyn Jones: Absolutely buried himself after waiting two games for this memorable moment. Lions tours are so intense for everyone and everyone needs time to refresh and clear your minds."Īgain courtesy of The Sun’s Jonny Fordham in Cape Town: "I don't plan too far ahead and other things will be on the horizon. It's another challenging couple of weeks, and in that time, it is a good time to think about my next chapter in my life.
"I have a long flight and 14 days of isolation in a hotel, which is going to be tough. "It is something that I will reflect on, I am incredibly proud of my involvement, I am very fortunate, I am passionate about the Lions and fly back to New Zealand on Sunday. Leaving the door open ahead of Australia 2025, the Kiwi boss said: "In terms of the involvement, there is a lot of water under the bridge for four years time. Today (Sunday) Gatland flies back to New Zealand and will spend the next two weeks in isolation mulling over his future. It was deja vu for the boss who watched golden oldie Springbok Morne Steyn, 37, smash the winner with two minutes to go - just like he did in 2009. Warren Gatland refused to rule out a sensational FIFTH Lions tour after losing the South Africa series in heart-breaking style, as JONNY FORDHAM reports from Cape Town.
