CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - The British & Irish Lions tour of South Africa will come to a tense and edgy conclusion on Saturday with the contest expected to feature more of the attritional rugby that has marked the first two tests at the Cape Town Stadium.

The Lions won the first test by a narrow five-point margin a fortnight ago, roaring back into the game after a poor start.
