South Africa 19-16 British and Irish Lions: Morne Steyn's late penalty wins series
The British and Irish Lions lost an agonisingly close series decider to South Africa as Morne Steyn's late penalty sealed a 19-16 victory.
He and Steyn then traded kicks, before the Springbok 10 dealt the final blow to add a Lions series win to their 2019 World Cup success.It felt as if there was much more than a series on the line coming into the decider, with the build-up focused on the unentertaining style of the first two Tests and complaints from both sides about officiating.
The Scotland 10 - often labelled a maverick for his canny kicking for both club Racing 92 and country - looked composed as he took to the field with a smile for each of his team-mates.
