In a hugely generous move, the organisation have made the entire match from the second test available for everyone to watch.
- Springboks in meltdown at thought of playing 2021 Lions Tour in the UK
- The young rugby players who could genuinely dominate rugby in 2021
The test was seen as one of the most exciting rugby tests in living memory, with Sonny Bill Williams getting himself sent off early in the match for making contact with Anthony Watson’s head.
The red card completely changed the complexity of the game, and it gave the Lions the springboard that they needed to pull the series level in this full match.
There has been a real fear that the 2021 Lions Tour to South Africa might not go ahead. With COVID cases spiking in the UK and South Africa, it looks like fans will not be able to watch the games. This would be a massive financial blow for South Africa in particular, which means the series itself could be postponed.
There has even been talks that the Lions Tour may be moved to New Zealand temporaily this year where there are barely any cases of the virus. There are currently 5 active cases in the country.
