CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Flanker Courtney Lawes has called for one final push from the British & Irish Lions to secure a momentous series win against world champions South Africa and urged the team to express themselves at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday.

The tempestuous series is locked at 1-1 after the Lions’ opening 22-17 victory was followed by a 27-9 win for the Springboks in which they dominated the tourists with their physicality in the final 20 minutes.
