The Lions battle ferociously on the 10m line, but again cannot get through the wall of green.

Tom Curry roars as the Lions win a penalty on the floor. Here we go, time to take the lead.

The Lions have only one more back on the bench in the form of scrum-half Gareth Davies so it is uncertain who would take Watson's place in the back three.
Apparently it doesn't matter anyway because Watson is staying on. Seems a bit risky given this isn't actually a Test match.

It's starting to feel quite confusing that it's a Wednesday with the quality of rugby on show.

Owen Farrell proves his goal-kicking worth as his long-range attempt sails through the middle of the posts.
Four points in it with half an hour left.
