Rugby Match: British and Irish lions 3rd Tour match

06.06.2009
British and Irish Lions v Free State Cheetahs in Bloemfontein

Preview
This British and Irish lions combination will need to outdo their Wednesday team in the way it delt with the opposition. The pressure is on this combination to dominate the opposition and score trys. The Cheetahs will provide sterner opposition than the Golden Lions did last Wednesday but in the end the tourists will have too much skill, and especially, strength up front.

Prediction: British and Irish Lions by 15 points.
