Geech satisfied with display
The home side snatched a late draw with a converted try but McGeechan, while admitting that he was disappointed, described this last midweek game of the 10-game tour as a potential banana skin that the Lions had got through days before the second Test in Pretoria.
“The conditions were such that it was impossible to play rugby, but I thought the attitude of the players was commendable. It was a million miles away from the type of game we wanted to play. I wasn’t happy with the result; not when the opposition score in the last seconds, but I wasn’t disappointed with the display. It just turned into a kicking game in a hurricane, and that didn’t suit.”
