Lions win final test
Shane Williams celebrates his try.
South Africa 9 British and Irish Lions 28
The British and Irish Lions ended their tour of South Africa with a record-equalling victory over the Springboks.
Shane Williams scored twice as the Lions opened a 15-6 half-time lead and the tourists closed out a pulsating win with an intercept try from Ugo Monye while Stephen Jones kicked 13 points.
The Springboks had already won the series but the Lions ensured they return home on a winning note after their first Test triumph since Brisbane in 2001.
The margin of victory equalled the Lions’ victory over South Africa in Pretoria in 1974.
