Warren Gatland has signalled the British & Irish Lions’ intent to play “more rugby” in Saturday’s series-deciding final Test against South Africa after losing a turgid second game at Cape Town Stadium.

The Lions head coach made six changes to the side beaten 27-9 last Saturday and who were kept scoreless in the second half by a resurgent Springbok side that rebounded brilliantly from their first-Test defeat seven days earlier.
