This Lions tour is like a Hollywood movie and tomorrow is going to be on another level, kick off is 5pm in Cape Town. As if Rassie Erasmus’ video wasn’t bad enough, the South African captain Siya Kolisi has now backed up his Director of rugby and said that the referee Nic Berry didn’t give the same respect as the Lions captain Alun Wyn Jones. If the South Africans don’t win tomorrow they will look extremely silly, after all the talking they have done this week in front of the media.
