Earlier this year, he was also very unhappy with some decisions against his team at Ellis Park. It was the same case again on Saturday.

It’s understood the temperamental former Springboks scrumhalf didn’t initially even want to face the media due to his unhappiness.

Meanwhile, the Lions admitted that they were lucky to walk away with their victory.

However, that shouldn’t detract from the drama of Ruan Combrinck’s tense, match-winning 58m penalty.

And captain Jaco Kriel was clearly elated.
