Loved the composure throughout. The scanning and making the right decision.

Lions right wings struggle to tackle seems to be a learning from the first two games.

Did Freeman miss a lot?

Scrum struggling surprisingly in fact set plays all iffy so far. Odd with 5 Irish in the pack tbh

Pollock showing exactly why he’s been picked, but also showing why he might not have been.

Daly going ok. We look short on gas to me.

Comical yellow. The warning was 20 mins plus ago

Very disjointed in d

For me, it wasn't a penalty. But if it was, then I'm fine with the yellow.
I dislike that final warnings so often come with a time limit.
I also dislike when final warnings are merely the first of three "I really mean it this time" warnings, before the actual card might emerge

We will have to disagree. Gave away 4 in 15 mins, but then 2 in rest of half. IMO it’s contextual.

Both wings missing. Function a bit of what’s happening inside, bit of a disjointed blitz

Daly doing himself no harm here. Must be up for bench you’d think.

That’s really unfortunate. Hopefully nothing too serious.

Yeah, and they will need a backup if Tomos is in any way doubtful for Wednesday.

Beginning to think when Itoje does next play, maybe give him a run out at 6 rather than lock? Second row’s frankly looking better without him if this is anything to go by.

So despite Greenwood’s ludicrous comment earlier about sides going for years without claiming a restart, the lions are having a few issues there.

No. You always tempt fate taking injured players on tour.
