Awful from Chris Hill, losing concentration and Sione Katoa steals the ball off the Warrington man in a one-on-one tackle.

Another chances goes begging.

The Lions have lacked fluency in attack.

John Bateman goes himself, skirting across the Tonga backline but is halted in his tracks.

Josh Hodgson slides a kick through but it does not find a team-mate, winger Daniel Tupou grounding it in the nick of time.

It has been all GB in the second period.

They are working patiently, looking for those rays of light in the Tonga backline.

Gareth Widdops darts left and right before nearly having his head chopped off his shoulders by a high Andrew Fifita tackle.

Six more tackles to come, the Lions HAVE to score from here.

Josh Jones got married 24 hours after the Grand Final defeat by St Helens but had to postpone his honeymoon because of international commitments.

Hah.

The Lions are working the combinations much better in this second half.

Gareth Widdop and Josh Hodgson exchanging passes, but Josh Jones knocks it on while playing the ball and another changes goes begging.

Jones looks bemused, but it was very scruffy from the Salford player who is joining Hull FC next season.

The Lions shift the ball well and it is a decent kick from Gareth Widdop into the corner.

Oliver Gildart is competing for it with David Fusitu'a, but the Tonga winger pats the ball down to avert the danger.

Brilliant defending that, a try saver.

Is Oliver Gildart in for the Lions??

It is being checked.

Tryscorer Sione Katoa is penalised for a forward pass inside his own half and the Lions have possession in a promising position.

Can they capitalise?

Tui Lolohea causing havoc again, the Lions can take a leaf out of his book.

It just runs away from the Tonga playmaker when the hosts were closing in on another try.

Oh dear. Poor, poor kicking again from the Lions.

Lachlan Coote's boot this time is straight down the throat of Tesi Niu.

Away we go again in Hamilton.

So, where do the Lions need to improve in the second half?

Well, like Denis Betts mentioned, they need to get the ball more to Jackson Hastings, he has barely featured so far.

The kicking game has to get better as well.

A tribute at half-time to former Saints and Tonga boss Mike McClennan who passed away, external earlier this month.

He was the father of former Leeds Rhinos head coach Brian.

Over the course of 80 minutes, if you do all of your heavy lifting in the first half, it's going to work against you in the second half.

With about five minutes to go in the half, Great Britain had made over 200 tackles and Tonga had made about 120.

The Lions players will be rubbing ice packs on those bruises at the moment in the dressing room.

I'm hurting just watching some of those hits again on the replay.

It was brutal. We worried for them (Tonga) when they made a poor start with the kick-off (going out on the full), but they came out firing with and without the ball, trampling over people and leaving them on the ground. They were relentless.

It was a bit of rope-or-dope. If Great Britain could have scored first, it could have been a different half.

Not over-egging it, but that is one of THE great tries from Tonga.

Reminded me of the "Wide to West, it goes wide to West", for St Helens v Bradford all those years ago.

Lions half-back Gareth Widdop: "We have to stick to it, they are a big side, are rolling down the hill well and have score two tries from kicks. We have to keep going and turn it around in the second half."

James Routledge: What a try that is! Unbelievable hands.

Dave Musson: Blimey, Tonga are up for this a bit - aren’t they?

Stephen Milton: What a try that is!
