VIDEO: SA v B&I Lions - brutal but awesome!

WATCH 10 minutes of AWESOME highlights from South Africa's 2-1 series win over the British and Iri8sh Lions.

This is a little tribute to one of the most physical series in the game.

The series had it all - from fights, brutal hits, controversies, yellow cards and we can go on and on.

There were battles between giants in Eben Etzebeth versus Maro Itoje and Alun Wyn Jones.

There were moments of magic like Cheslin Kolbe's try.

There was also the storyline, ending with Morne Steyn's return to seal the series for the Springboks.

It was a massive series where there was a lot of love and hate, but at the end of it, there was Respect!
