South Africa v British & Irish Lions 3rd Test Predictions & Tips (Saturday, 17:00 BST)

The British & Irish Lions will be hoping to learn from their mistakes last weekend, as they attempt to win the Test series in South Africa. The Lions were outclassed in the second Test as they went down 27-9 with the hosts scoring tries through Makazole Mapimpi and Lukhanyo Am. Warren Gatland also agrees they were outplayed as he has made six changes from the team that lost last Saturday. Hooker Ken Owens, prop Wyn Jones, scrum-half Ali Price, centre Bundee Aki, wing Josh Adams and full-back Liam Williams will all start in Cape Town as they look to secure a series victory. Finn Russell, Adam Beard and Sam Simmonds come into the side on the bench. Owen Farrell, Taulupe Faletau, Anthony Watson and Stuart Hogg miss out altogether. The Springboks will be without the injured pairing of Faf de Klerk and Pieter-Steph du Toit and that could be beneficial to the Lions. Cobus Reinach and Franco Mostert have been brought in as their replacements. This one is hard to call, but without De Klerk and Du Toit, I feel the Lions will be too good and they will claim a narrow victory to win the series.
