CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Coach Warren Gatland wants his British & Irish Lions team to start better in Saturday’s second test against South Africa, as he expects a desperate reaction from the home team after the tourists won last weekend’s first test

The Lions fought back from 12-3 down at half-time to win 22-17 in an attritional contest at the Cape Town Stadium, overcoming conceding four early penalties to go on and outplay their hosts.
