JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) -The British & Irish Lions got their South Africa tour off to a winning start as Josh Adams scored four tries at Ellis Park on Saturday, beating their Johannesburg namesakes 56-14 in a stiff early examination against the surreal backdrop of empty stands.
Louis Rees-Zammit dotted down the first try of the tour and more came from Hamish Watson, Ali Price and Gareth Davies, all converted by Owen Farrell as the tourists overcame a spirited home side in the first of eight matches over the next six weeks.
