Rampant Lions heading for emphatic win over Queensland Reds

Elliot Daly has ice on his arm and is still looking like someone who could be out for a period of time.

Weird to think that he wasn’t meant to be playing. Hugo Keenan was named to start but pulled out through illness.

Another good crowd for the Lions, not sold out, but pretty healthy.

Anon: Itoje = imperious today.

The Lions scored eight tries last Saturday against Western Force. They are currently on seven.

Alex Mitchell wins a line-out for the Lions. He has been very good since coming on.

Kicking on the money and strong in defence.

Ben Earl is playing in the centre. He’ll love that!

A gutted Elliot Daly is now off. We will have to wait and see, his reaction indicates things might not be good.

Huw Jones races clear after picking off an attempted chip. Serious wheels!

Possession: 49%-51%

Carries: 90-95

Line breaks: 2-7

Turnovers won: 3-4

Penalties conceded: 7-5

Tackle completion: 87%-88%

Another big-time moment from Maro Itoje, who intercepts the ball.

Queensland Reds fire a penalty deep into the Lions’ 22.

Oh no!

Elliot Daly is down holding his arm. He looks uncomfortable after failing to get his shoulder into a tackle.

He is back on his feet.

The Reds were good value in the first half and managed to stress the Lions with multi-phase rugby, but the Lions defence is improving.

However control of the game could be better, which is surprising as Ireland dominate in this area.

The kicking game still isn’t great while the number of handling errors remains a concern.

Tommy Freeman spins out of contact and grounds the ball. No denying that he can finish.

Athanasios: It’s a gameplan that is exciting to watch but is high risk.

Ireland’s James Ryan is on for his Lions debut.

Superb steal from Maro Itoje on the deck. That’s the small moments that will win Tests.

The Lions turn Queensland Reds with a kick and then win a penalty.

Into the corner….

Jac Morgan has been very impressive.

The ball is quick and Morgan hits a hard line to power over.

The Lions are deep inside Queensland Reds’ 22. Maro Itoje opts for a scrum in front of the posts.

Northampton Saints duo Alex Mitchell and Fin Smith are on for Jamison Gibson-Park and Finn Russell.
