 Wing Shane Williams scored a brace of first-half tries for the Lions |
The British and Irish Lions roared back with a commanding consolation victory at Ellis Park to end the 2009 series 2-1 down in South Africa.
The Lions had not won a final Test in 20 years but hit back from the agony of losing the series in emphatic fashion.
Shane Williams scored twice in the first half and Ugo Monye added a third after the break from an interception.
Stephen Jones's boot kept the Lions clear and they escaped when a late Springbok try was disallowed.
