    Frankly it would be easier to stage a match between real Lions and Sharks.

    After a couple of days of testing, tracing and second-guessing, the second match of the British and Irish Lions South Africa tour 2021 is on.

    The tourists take on the Cell C Sharks an hour later than advertised. Kick-off is at 19:00 BST.

    But there has already been plenty of drama.
