Cape Town - Former Springbok captain John Smit believes the British and Irish Lions are in with a shot at winning the series against the All Blacks.
The Lions have started their tour to New Zealand on a stuttering note - sneaking a 13-7 win against an underrated New Zealand Barbarians outfit, before coming unstuck against the Blues in Auckland, losing 22-16.
Smit, who led the Springboks to a 2-1 series win over the Lions in 2009, shared his thoughts on SuperSport’s TMO rugby programme on Wednesday night.
