Townsend:  creativity is crucial as Lions hunt Series win

Backs Coach Gregor Townsend

Gregor Townsend has urged the British & Irish Lions to be more creative if they want to complete the “massive achievement” of winning a Test series against world champions South Africa in Cape Town on Saturday.

The Lions attack coach was part of the last series win over the Springboks in 1997 and believes repeating the feat of 24 years ago would rank up there with the heroes of that tour given the unique circumstances of the 2021 tour taking place in the midst of a global pandemic.
