Summary
After two intense and physical test matches, it's all to play for between the British and Irish Lions and South Africa heading into the third and final clash this Saturday.
Joining Brian in studio to dissect Saturday's test and to preview the decider is the former Springbok captain Bob Skinstad.
Both Brian and Bob believe the momentum is now in the favour of the hosts after they completely dominated the Lions in the second half, and Brian calls on Warren Gatland to make some tactical changes because no side in the world can go toe to toe physically with the South Africans.
The match officials once again had a busy afternoon. Two yellow cards were issued but we could have easily seen red, and Lions prop Kyle Sinckler has also been cited for an alleged bite. We discuss what impact Rassie Erasmus incredible mid week press conference had on the referee and if he should be sanctioned for his behaviour.
Plus we discuss the comments of All Blacks head coach Ian Foster who says Saturdays test made him fall asleep and a potential return for the influential Duane Vermeulen.

| 0:34.9 | It was almost a complete reversal of the previous week. South Africa |
| 0:38.4 | completely turned the game round in the second half, dominating the setpiece, dominating the aerial |
| 0:43.4 | duels and maintaining their discipline. Such was their dominance that the world champions must |
| 0:48.1 | now be favourites to take Saturday's third test and claim the series. It was another busy |
| 0:53.3 | afternoon for the officials, |
| 0:54.9 | who sent two players to the Simbin, |
| 0:56.7 | but could easily send a lot more and possibly issued red cards. |
| 1:01.2 | Did Razirazmus' incredible one hour and two minutes press conference midweek get into their head? |
| 1:07.8 | We'll be discussing that, and whether or not it had an impact on the game |

| 1:15.7 | As ever, we'll be answering your questions, including what changes you make from Saturday's |
| 1:20.5 | second test team. And what about the return? Well, mooted at the moment of the hugely influential Dwayne Vermeulen. |
| 1:29.2 | And what about O'Black's coach Ian Foster? |
| 1:32.5 | Well, he had some disparaging things to say about Saturday's game. |
| 1:36.5 | Delight to say, alongside me once again, former Springbok Captain Bob Skinster. |
