The Lions will have the final chance of the half. Can they score before half-time? Both Jamie Osborne and Garry Ringrose go backwards in contact.

This is such a sleepy performance from the Lions. No aggression or intent. All the attrition is coming from First Nations & Pasifika, who look seriously up for it as they represent Pacific Islands heritage. The Lions need some dynamism out there
First Nations & Pasifika XV 14-14 Lions
Great work from the First Nations & Pasifika XV as they disrupt the Lions maul to win a scrum. For a new side they are showing some serious fight.
First Nations & Pasifika XV 14-14 Lions
Jamie George is accurate again from the line-out. They then go back for penalty, the Lions opt for the corner.

The Lions do well to turn the ball over and Ben White clears long.

Another scrum penalty for First Nations & Pasifika XV. This is exactly what Joe Schmidt wants from Taniela Tupou. Big chance now for the hosts.
Plenty of niggle in this game.

The Lions looked really clinical off set-piece with two very well executed tries. But there is complacency around running exits and they have been forcing the pass which has given the Pasifika confidence and brought them back into the game.

Fin Smith misses touch from a penalty to let First Nations & Pasifika XV off the hook. That is a poor miss and not what you need if you want a Test spot.

It’s absolutely ridiculous that with just the last two Tests to go, Marcus Smith still has not started a game at 10, especially when Fin Smith has been poor all tour and Owen Farrell was an emergency replacement. Shocking mismanagement of the squad.

Garry Ringrose hits the accelerator to charge forward. Finlay Bealham though is pinged for going off his feet to end that dangerous attack.

Henry Pollock pulls the scrum hat of Seru Uru, which makes Uru very angry. The pair end up on the ground. No penalty as it was only some pushing and pulling.

If Joe McCarthy isn't fit for the second Test, I can see it being Beirne that moves into the second row to replace him. I also wouldn't be at all surprised to see Josh Van der Flier come straight into the Test XV, with Jac Morgan added to the bench.

I was just about to say how the Lions are clearly the better team but hold the phone caller, First Nations & Pasifika XV have just scored again!
Scrum dominance leads to territory and a combination of quick taps and a power game sees them bundle over to level the scores, with the Lions also going down to 14.

James Ryan is sent to the sin-bin. Too many penalties given away by the Lions.
Seru Uru (con Kurtley Beale)
Seru Uru shows unbelievable strength to power over. Game on!

It was a poor choice on the counter-attack from Duhan van der Merwe and the Lions as they get caught behind the gainline.
Kinghorn then looks to play the team out of trouble and plays straight into the hands of Reilly, gift-wrapping the hosts their first try!
First Nations & Pasifika XV 7-14 Lions
The Lions give away a scrum penalty. Their scrum has been very good in Australia so that will disappoint Andy Farrell.
Good chance now for the First Nations & Pasifika XV.
Triston Reilly (con Kurtley Beale)
Intercept!
Triston Reilly picks off a long pass by Blair Kinghorn and he races under the posts.

Just a few minutes ago Darcy Graham scored a try and was looking great but after another strong run, he gets hit hard and despite the Lions physios trying their best to strap up his ankle, he can’t continue.
Sport can be so cruel.
