The British and Irish Lions series with South Africa will go to a decider after the Springboks won a fiery second Test 27-9 at Cape Town Stadium this morning.

The Lions led after a cagey first half as Dan Biggar's three penalties trumped Handre Pollard's two, while a player from each side went to the sin-bin.

Makazole Mapimpi's try gave the world champions a narrow two-point lead at the start of the second half while Lukhanyo Am's try sealed the victory for the Springboks.

Pollard scored three more penalties to put the Lions in their place after the tourists won the first Test 22-17.

The final test and series decider will be held at 4am next Sunday.
