Van der Merwe scores again for Lions

Duhan van der Merwe scored his fifth try for the British & Irish Lions as they ran out 71-31 winners against Cell C Sharks in Pretoria.

Warriors’ new signing was voted Man of the Match for the second time in a week as the Lions continue their preparation for the test series against the Springboks.

Fellow summer signing Rory Sutherland also impressed, the prop started the game and played 56 minutes before being replaced.

The Lions play South Africa A on Wednesday in their next fixture in Cape Town as preparations for the Springboks test series continue.
