When they reflect on their night’s work in Canberra, the British & Irish Lions will again have mixed emotions. At their best the touring team look sharp and dangerous but, with the Test series fast approaching, they are not firing on all cylinders in some key areas. A first-half injury to the full‑back Blair Kinghorn has also come at a delicate moment, before the first Test in Brisbane on Saturday week.
Fielding close to their best starting XV, the Lions scored five tries with Ollie Chessum, James Lowe and Marcus Smith crossing in the first half and Garry Ringrose and Josh van der Flier following suit in the second. The in-form Finn Russell contributed 11 points with the boot to cap another assured performance.
