Jonker carries some baggage into the first of the three-test series, with all games to be played in Cape Town.
Jonker was the TMO for the Lions’ only loss on this disrupted tour, and, in consultation with the South African referee Jaco Peyper, opted against sending off Faf de Klerk for a dangerous tackle on Josh Navidi in the game against South Africa A.
Gatland was adamant a red card should have been issued, but De Klerk survived and the lively halfback will line out for the Boks against the Lions on Sunday (NZT).
