  1. Daly goes off

    Queensland Reds 12-47 Lions

    A gutted Elliot Daly is now off. We will have to wait and see, his reaction indicates things might not be good.

  5. Queensland Reds 12-42 Lions

    Queensland Reds fire a penalty deep into the Lions' 22.

  6. Queensland Reds 12-42 Lions

    Oh no!

    Elliot Daly is down holding his arm. He looks uncomfortable after failing to get his shoulder into a tackle.

    He is back on his feet.

  7. Kicking game isn't great

    The Reds were good value in the first half and managed to stress the Lions with multi-phase rugby, but the Lions defence is improving.

    However control of the game could be better, which is surprising as Ireland dominate in this area.

    The kicking game still isn’t great while the number of handling errors remains a concern.

    Tommy Freeman spins out of contact and grounds the ball. No denying that he can finish.

    Athanasios: It's a gameplan that is exciting to watch but is high risk.

  10. Replacement

    Queensland Reds 12-35 Lions

    Ireland's James Ryan is on for his Lions debut.

  11. Queensland Reds 12-35 Lions

    Superb steal from Maro Itoje on the deck. That's the small moments that will win Tests.

    The Lions turn Queensland Reds with a kick and then win a penalty.

    Into the corner....

  12. try

    Converted try - Queensland Reds 12-35 Lions

    Jac Morgan (con Fin Smith)

    Jac Morgan has been very impressive.

    The ball is quick and Morgan hits a hard line to power over.

  13. Queensland Reds 12-28 Lions

    The Lions are deep inside Queensland Reds' 22. Maro Itoje opts for a scrum in front of the posts.

  14. Replacements - Lions

    Queensland Reds 12-28 Lions

    Northampton Saints duo Alex Mitchell and Fin Smith are on for Jamison Gibson-Park and Finn Russell.

  15. Gibson-Park setting tempo

    Gibson-Park has been quietly involved in a lot of the action which is to be expected for such an influential scrum-half. He has crucially helped set the tempo or linking to the space and assisting tries. A timely and very impressive performance on Lions debut.

  16. Replacements - Lions

    Queensland Reds 12-28 Lions

    Queensland Reds win a penalty and fire it into the Lions' 22.

    We have a few changes as Finlay Bealham is on for Will Stuart. Andrew Porter is off for Ellis Genge. Luke Cowan-Dickie is also on for Ronan Kelleher.

  17. Last 30 minutes crucial

    The Lions have the score which should kill this as a contest. But the next 30 minutes are crucial for the Lions who need to build cohesion and combinations, improve accuracy, and keep discipline.

  18. Queensland Reds 12-28 Lions

    The hosts go through some phases but are not really going forward. It is impressive Lions defence.

  19. Queensland Reds 12-28 Lions

    Will Stuart is pinged for a high shot. That's the small details that could decide Test spots.

  20. try

    Converted try - Queensland Reds 12-28 Lions

    Maro Itoje (con Finn Russell)

    Captain fantastic.

    Bundee Aki makes the initial dent, Jamison Gibson-Park then snipes and finds Maro Itoje, who stretches over.
