The British & Irish Lions will stick to using official channels if they have any in-game issues with referees, assistant coach Steve Tandy said as the tourists reacted to more social media posts from Rassie Erasmus.

Erasmus, South Africa’s director of rugby had initially used his Twitter account 10 days ago to reply, via Irish Examiner Sport, to Warren Gatland’s remarks about refereeing consistency after Faf de Klerk escaped with a yellow card for a high tackle in South Africa A’s defeat of the Lions that week.
