The party is over, the series is lost, the Safas are now Lions victors as well as world champs.
WD to the Lions players for surviving a gruelling trip, playing no warm up games of any substance and only coming up 3 points short in a tough contest, and WD to the South African players for coping with COVID, getting over the line ahead and coping with Rassie Erasmus.
Solo Al pod with 10 minutes of 3rd Test half time reaction and full time reflection.
