Rassie Erasmus has accused the British and Irish Lions of compromising “the integrity of the game” by questioning Marius Jonker’s officiating role in Saturday’s Test series opener.

Jonker acted as Television Match Official (TMO) as the Lions prevailed 22-17 in Cape Town, with the South African officiating over his compatriot Springboks.
