Edwards: time for Lions to show their teeth

SHAUN EDWARDS has urged the British and Irish Lions to “put a marker down” in tonight’s second South Africa tour game.

Super 14 side the Golden Lions await at Ellis Park, the venue for next month’s third Test against the world champion Springboks.

And, after a misfiring start to the 10-match trip when they belatedly subdued the Royal XV in Rustenburg, the Lions know they cannot afford a repeat performance.
