Lions Tour 2021: How the British and Irish Lions rated as South Africa won the second Test

The British and Irish Lions and South Africa will meet in a series decider next Saturday after the Springboks won the second Test 27-9 at Cape Town Stadium.

The home side pulled away in the second-half, scoring tries through Makazole Mapimpi and Lukhanyo Am after the tourists had led 9-6 at half-time.

Here’s how the Lions rated:

11. Duhan van der Merwe

Tough game for the Scotland wing. Indisciplined first half saw him yellow-carded for trip on Cheslin Kolbe after being lucky to escape punishment for late, dangerous tackle on Pieter-Steph du Toit. 4/10 Photo: David Rogers/Getty Images
