South Africa v The British Isles from Bloemfontein
Highlights of the Second Test
Having been beaten in a thrilling test at Cape Town two weeks ago, the British team must win the Second Test at Bloemfontein to keep alive their chances of winning the four-match series. An unprecedented number of injuries have made it difficult for the Lions to settle on their best team, but Bill Beaumont is confident that victory for his team is possible. This game also presents the Springboks with an opportunity to dispel memories of their worst-ever international defeat at the hands of the Lions in the Second Test of 1974. Commentator

' All Queen Anne front and Mary-Ann back; elegance on one side, vulgarity on the other.'
That's how Jack Tinker , theatre critic of the Daily Mail, describes the Regency flavour of Brighton, where he's lived for 20 years.
Since Prinny's day it's been an unlikely confection of theatrical grandeur and what-the-butler-saw. But post-war planning has allowed whole streets of Old Brighton to be torn down and replaced by tower blocks and car parks. Some people have moved away in despair. JACK TINKER is among those who have chosen to stay and fight.
