The series is finely poised in the British and Irish Lions’ tour coming to a close on Saturday as they once again face South Africa.
After Warren Gatland’s side secured victory first time out, a much feistier and combative affair saw the Springboks win the second Test - now it’s all on the line in the third.
Attacking coach Gregor Townsend is looking for the Lions’ changes to make the difference in a more up-tempo performance, picking out scrum-half Ali Price as one to watch.
“He’s got the pace to go through gaps,” he said. “If you create opportunities, you have more chance of winning the game. You may create more through pressure. We know we have to control the game more by moving South Africa around, draining them of energy whenever we can.”
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.

Team news
Warren Gatland has opted for multiple changes for the final Test, with Ken Owens, Wyn Jones, Bundee Aki and Josh Adams among those coming into the XV. Criticism came for not enough creativity in the second Test in particular, so these changes will look to aid that improvement.
Faf de Klerk and Pieter-Steph du Toit are both out injured for South Africa, with Cobus Reinach and Lood De Jager both coming into the side as the hosts look to put together back-to-back victories.
