The British and Irish Lions overcame a sloppy start to flex their muscles as they thrashed the Queensland Reds 54-12 in Brisbane.
The Lions bounced back from defeat to Argentina in their tour curtain-raiser by beating the Western Force in Perth in their opening match on Australian soil, and very nearly matched their tally at Suncorp Stadium. They did not, however, have things all their own way as the Reds began with real physicality, surging twice into an advantage in a first half in which the errors came a little too regularly for the tourists.
