    The first half may have had echoes of the Argentina game in terms of errors at key moments but the ambition was always there from the Lions, who also managed to keep the Reds from scoring after the 26th minute.

    Speaking to Sky Sports, Lions back row Jac Morgan said: "It was a good game. It was a very physical game, especially the first half. It was a tough match so it was good to get the win.

    "It was a full team performance, we spoke about playing for 80 minutes and that is what we did. We kept on building and we will keep on building over the next couple of weeks.

    "We will look at the game and then ahead to Sydney."

    The Lions pack showed more brains than brawn, a good asset to have.

    Elliot Daly has played in 11 consecutive Lions games across three different positions and was in the process of playing his way into the Test 23 before leaving the pitch.

    After 3 games - the two players who many would have seen as frontrunners for the 15 shirt - Kinghorn and Keenan have played 0 minutes.

    They get it! Fin Smith's long pass is on the money and in goes Garry Ringrose.

    Smith is annoyed as he misses the conversion from the corner.

    Another penalty for the Lions, this time for a deliberate knock-on. They want this final score.

    Jac Morgan has had a massive game. Just what he needed after a quiet game in Dublin against Argentina, and just what the whole Welsh nation needed after Tomos Williams' sad injury.

    Fin Smith kicks a penalty to the corner. One final chance.

    Maro Itoje nicks a line-out. The Lions captain has been class.

    Ben Earl crashes it up at 12. A strong performance might convince Andy Farrell to go for the 6-2 bench spilt.

    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.

    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!
