I can't believe we haven't at least spoken in training about Charteris.

His maul defence is and has been for a while very special.

That is lovely. Great pass by Russell, nice by Hogg and easy for Visser.

Nice to see Visser stand up North too.

Unbelievable.

Russell, Hogg and Visser did so well.

I'm delighted for Visser and should probably retract my earlier statement... he certainly has a nose for the try line. Excellent job of running it in closer to the posts as well.

Conversion is good as a result.

We MUST keep this pressure up.

Not sure where Scotland would be without Hogg. He is class. Has to be the lions fullback surely.

As much as I hate the moaning Webb is a hell of a player. Henry should have spotted him.

I hope so. He's been a lot more solid under the high ball today too. Been a really good overall performance by him.

Great turnover by Watson.

That hold & pop set up both the tries. Lovely little draw & grubber almost saw Jones over the line as well. He's hard to fault in attack.

This second half has been miles better. Much more energy and precision at times.

Russell has been practicing! Superb kick. I thought it was an odd decision - what do I know?!

He's solid enough in defense.

You can teach any mug to be solid in defense. I will happily accept the odd little defensive error for the kind of x factor he offers your attack.

Not the time or place as we are playing well and Hogg has been on fire but I do not rate his defence at all. Fortunately it's been good today and hasn't been exposed too much.

Takes a minute+ off the clock and takes us past two converted tries.

Watson again!!!

Brilliant turnover!

Watson has been superb and made two VITAL turnovers. I stand by my claim he is one of the best players in Britain right now. Inexplicable that he was dropped.

Why does Gatland look so sad? Some superb Lions on show today.

It couldn't be that he's one eyed....?

20-0 in that second half. Some players really stood up. Who'd have thought Visser would be miles better than North?
