Deja vu all over again!

-

MORNE STEYN, the ice-cool kicker who slew the Lions 12 years ago, returned to do it all over again in Cape Town.

The scores were level at 13-13 with 15 minutes left when 37-year-old Steyn was summoned off the bench — five years after he had last played a Test match for the Springboks.

Within 90 seconds he had kicked South Africa back into the lead.

And then, with just a minute left and the scores level again, Steyn was handed another chance to break the Lions’ hearts.

Once again — just as in 2009 when he kicked a lastminute match-winning penalty — the veteran was more than up to the task.
