Summary

It's 1-0 to the British and Irish Lions after the first of their three match test series with South Africa.

Joining Brian in studio to discuss the fallout from the opening test is former Springbok captain Bob Skinstad. The pair look back on all the big moments from Saturdays clash in Cape Town, discussing where the game was won and lost.

One of the main men on Saturday was the TMO Marius Jonker. The South African native was controversially selected to officiate the clash, with many believing he could be bias towards the home side. What transpired was very different because it was the Lions who were the beneficiary of a number of TMO decisions on the day. Former international referee Nigel Owens joins the show to discuss if the decisions were the right ones and if they were crucial in deciding the game.

We also look ahead to the second test and look at whether Warren Gatland will change a winning tide and we discuss the peculiar Twitter activity of South Africa Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus.

1:00.4	Well, we are finally underway in the test series between the British and Irish Lions and South Africa and, if you didn't know, it's first blood to the Lions who produced
