O'Connell dejected after last-gasp defeat
Captain Paul O’Connell could not conceal his disappointment as the British and Irish Lions suffered late heartbreak to lose the second Test 28-25 as South Africa took an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
The Lions led 16-8 at half-time in Pretoria but were reeled in and were denied a draw as a last-gasp Morne Steyn penalty gave the world champions victory, leaving O’Connell dejected.
