THE PREDICTION
The British & Irish Lions dominated in their 56-14 victory over Sigma Lions on Saturday with most of the points shared between Welsh attacking talents in first try-scorer Louis Rees Zammit and four-try hero Josh Adams. In the wake of captain Alun Wyn Jones’ devastating shoulder injury the performance was a welcome one indeed, although it should be taken with a pinch of salt against probably the weakest team on their fixtures list. The Cell C Sharks should put up more of a fight after a middling display in the recent Pro14 Rainbow Cup SA where they finished with double the points of Sigma Lions but this should still be a fairly one-sided contest. Head coach Warren Gatland has plenty of options with which to tinker but the starting Lions side should be able to cover -21 on Wednesday.
