Johann van Graan conceded that the conditions got the better of them, while the Lions made the most of the game-changing moment in the 50th minute of the match.“It was an incredibly hot day at Ellis Park”, said a disappointed Van Graan as Munster were preparing to head to the airport straight from the stadium.
“But well done to the Lions, we just couldn’t stick it out for the full 80 minutes. From a Lions point of view, they kept playing for the full 80 minutes and that’s what they do at Ellis Park. They got rewarded from the scrum towards the backend of the game, so credit to them there.
