Head coach Andy Farrell said that the 50 -point victories against the Western Force and the Queensland Reds weren't what real touring was all about.

He sounded like a man who thought they were real enough when they happened.

The Lions got turned over so many times and became helter-skelter in attack.

Farrell owned that to an extent, but his complaints about the pitch being watered were a touch cringe-inducing.

Blair Kinghorn looks classy and a Test Lion in the making.

Huw Jones and Sione Tuipulotu had its moments, but what's with all the touchline-to-touchline rugby from the 28-year-old ? Hugo Keenan was praised by Farrell for playing the game - maybe the effects of a bug were still with him to an extent - but he had a rough night .
