British and Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland was furious on Thursday after South African Marius Jonker was drafted in as a last-minute Television Match Official for Saturday's first Test.
Jonker, who grew up in the Northern Cape, has replaced Brendon Pickerill after the Kiwi was unable to travel due to Covid-19 disruptions.
The Lions were only informed about the switch on Wednesday, with Gatland understood to be dismayed that no neutral officials were available.
