Citings and race probe on Boks after beating Lions
The Springboks edged the Lions 28-25 to take an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, having won at Durban a week before. It was 29 years since the Boks beat the Lions in a series and 12 since a surprise 2-1 loss in their last series.
Morne Steyn converted a 53-meter matchwinning kick to spark celebrations on and off the field and Loftus Versfeld, but three pieces of post-game news took some of the edge off that joy.
Burger discovered he would face a disciplinary hearing for eye gouging Lions winger Luke Fitzgerald only 32 seconds into his 50th appearance for the Springboks and Botha was reported for charging dangerously into prop Adam Jones, who left the field early in the second half with a suspected dislocated shoulder.
