The British and Irish Lions face a South Africa 'A' side on Wednesday evening as a real test of their credentials. Wins over Japan and Sigma Lions began the Tour, before Warren Gatland's side produced back-to-back victories over Cell C Sharks last week. Coming up from 24 July will be three successive Test matches against the Springboks, which makes this fixture all the more enticing and important - a number of that side will feature here for South Africa A. Gatland feels that strength of opposition will be a big positive, saying: "They've gone as strong as they possibly can given that they still have some players unavailable. It's going to be a good test for us. It helps our preparation immensely."
