CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - The British and Irish Lions can expect “fire and anger” from vanquished South Africa in next weekend’s second test, Springbok scrumhalf Faf de Klerk has promised after a home defeat in Saturday’s first clash.

De Klerk scored a try at the Cape Town Stadium but it was not enough as the Lions roared back from nine points down at half-time to win 22-17 in an attritional contest to go 1-0 ahead in the three test series.
