Tommy Bowe: Owen Farrell leadership is crucial for The Lions

By The Telegraph

It's been an eventful week for both the British and Irish Lions and their hosts the Springboks.

Alongside Brian to unpack the ongoing Covid crisis in South Africa is the former Ireland and Lions winger Tommy Bowe.

The Lions have scored 50+ points in their first three games on tour but next up is a much sterner test against South Africa 'A' which is essentially a Springbok test side in disguise after Rassie Erasmus picked a number of World Cup winners for the clash.

Former Springbok Robbi Kempson joins us from South Africa to look ahead to the unofficial '4th test' and to provide an update on the Covid situation in the country.

It's been a month to remember for Marcus Smith, the Quins star was called up to the Lions squad fresh off the back of winning the Gallagher Premiership and making his England debut. We chat to his club coach Nick Evans about his rise and where he will fit in Warren Gatland's squad.

And Alun Wyn Jones could make a sensational comeback according to Gatland, we discuss whether he could feature in the tests and if he will retain the captaincy.
