    Remember the days when Scotland hardly had a Lions tourist?

    Today they have scored all six of the Lions tries!

    Hat-trick!

    Duhan van der Merwe runs in his third after sharp hands from the Lions backs. Owen Farrell is looking more than able.

    UPDATE - Six tries, all from Scottish players as Van der Merwe completes his hat-trick

    Alistair, Aberdeenshire: Farrell getting on is a joke. How do the other British and Ireland centres feel about being usurped by an unfit Farrell who is past his sell by date.

    The North Ayrshire Sith Lord: Glad they have taken Jones off - he’s on great form and if Ringrose is injured then need to keep him fresh. Hope Garry Ringrose is going to be ok soon. Two class players at the top of their game.

    Luke Cowan-Dickie, who was stretchered off in the first half after suffering a knock to the head, is smiling as he heads out to the bench to watch the rest of the match. Good news.

    Anon: Good to see Owen coming on. I’m Irish and class him as a great player.

    There are plenty of All Black jerseys to be seen in the Sir Donald Bradman Pavillion here in Adelaide showing significant support for the Trans-Tasman concept.

    But despite fielding a side littered with international class and having a team of astute coaches at the helm this AUNZ side are seriously short of training time together.

    The last time the Lions nilled a team was the Melbourne Rebels in 2013.

    Owen Farrell puts Henry Pollock away down the wing.

    Pollock chips and regathers but then spills the ball. Nice and sharp from Farrell.

  13. Replacement - Owen Farrell is onpublished at 50 mins

    AUNZ Invitational 0-24 Lions

    Owen Farrell is on! To a mixed reception.

    Marcus Smith is also on and is at fly-half. Farrell is at inside centre. Huw Jones and Fin Smith depart as Sione Tuipulotu moves to outside centre.

    AUNZ Invitational try their own tap move, which doesn't do much!

    Pete Samu takes the ball forward and the ball goes wide. It is really good progress but it comes to nothing.

    Gerard in London: In answer to cohesion at 10,12,13 - that’s all well and good but if one of the Scottish players gets injured in the first minute it’s out the window. Pick the best available players, easy!

    David in Darlington: If Ringrose is out, that could mean that Aki would drop from being a starter to be out of the 23 altogether, replaced in the starting line-up by Tuipulotu. A Scottish 10, 12 and 13 makes sense for cohesion and chemistry. If Ringrose was fit, then Aki would be the logical inside centre.

    Sione Tuipulotu (con Fin Smith)

    The Lions opt for a fancy tap move from the penalty. Sione Tuipulotu gets the ball and steps a defender to go over.

    Nice creative play.

    The ball is hacked up the pitch and the Lions claim it. Massive opportunity but we go back for the penalty.

    Ben Earl is off on a rampage! It has been another fine performance from the Englishman. He does spill it forward.
