Lions Betting: Cautious tourists victorious again

British Lions RSS / Joe Dyer / 13 June 2009 / Leave a comment

Just three points separated the Lions from Western Province in an unimpressive victory.

The British & Irish Lions were victorious in the latest game of their South African tour, beating Western Province 26-23.

Playing an experimental team, the tourists let an 18-9 lead slip and the game stood at 23-23 as it entered the final 10 minutes.

But a 77th minute, long range penalty from James Hook sealed the win for the Lions who touched a high of [2.8] to win when drawings with their hosts.

There's one more match for the Lions - Southern Kings on Tuesday- before they meet South Africa next Saturday.

Earlier in the day, France shocked New Zealand with a rare win over the All Blacks in Dunedin.

The home team were well fancied going into the match and traded at [1.08] to win, only to find the French defence in superb form.

France traded at a high of [12.5] for the victory.
