Lions end tour on high note

Whitewash evaded as tourists win final test.

The Lions rounded off their South African tour with a 28-9 victory in Johannesburg - a win that was backed at a high of [4.5] on Betfair.

A pair of Shane Williams scores in the first half provided the bedrock for the win, which was as good as guaranteed when Ugo Monye broke clear for a length of the pitch try.

So it's a lost series for the Lions but the victory will have added a sheen of respectability after last weekend's last minute defeat.

Punters had clearly been expecting a whitewash - the 3-0 series score was backed as low as [1.3] on the exchange.
