The English Lions wrapped up a 2-0 test series win with a 40-23 victory over South Africa in Johannesburg.

Centre Fran King led the way with a hat-trick, whilst Wath Brow Hornets club mate Peter Caddy also impressed with a two-try display.
Scott Glassell and Jonny Youds added further touchdowns with Youds also landing six conversions to complete a 16-point haul.

The hosts – who trailed 22-13 at the break – had a standout performer in captain Jean Coetzer who claimed two tries and kicked three goals and a field-goal.

The stand-off was joined on the score sheet by centre Hein Pretorius who also crossed twice, but it was not enough to stop the Lions completing their three game trip undefeated.
