LIONS PLAYER RATINGS

LIONS

Hogg - Shaky start, lacking his usual sure-footedness. 5

Watson - Really smart finish for winning try to spare lions’ blushes. 7

Joseph - Worked hard and marshalled Lions’ midfield defence well. 6

Te’o - One start for England yet looked the class act among Lions’ back division here. Powerful carrier. 8

Seymour - One try-saving tackle justified his selection and will have delighted Gatland. 6

Sexton - Not his usual confident self and subbed off after taking knock. 5

Laidlaw - Late addition to tour squad and was steady if unspectacular here. 6

Marler - Worked really hard in frantic early stages when Lions needed men to take responsibility. 6

Best - Military medium lineout show from Lions, though the hooker did nothing wrong. 6

Sinckler - For a young kid, his skills and ambition to show them off did him great credit. 7

Jones - Worked his socks off but Lions’ failure to slow down BaaBaas ball will concern them. 7

Henderson - Started brightly but couldn’t impose himself on contest. 5

Moriarty - Gets better with every game. Will be a key midweek man on this tour. 7

Warburton - Captain attended to the nuts and bolts without pulling up any trees. 6

Faletau - Pick of the Lions. Gave them go-forward with ball in hand and made heroic tackle to save try. 8

Replacements

Farrell was pick of the reinforcements, adding to suspicion he will be Lions’ back line leader on this tour.
