Lions man marking
Iain Henderson Lock forward
Failed to take the kick-off and missed two tackles in the first half but at least managed several carries.
5
Stuart Hogg Full-back
Some promising glimpses of his attacking prowess but overall his display was tainted by a number of errors.
6
Ross Moriarty Blindside flanker
Twice lost possession in promising attacking positions but managed to maintain his work-rate impressively.
7
Anthony Watson Winger
Strong finishing for his try that put the Lions in front and chased hard but otherwise did not see enough of the ball.
6
Sam Warburton (captain) Openside flanker
Appeared to be short of match sharpness after his six-week lay-off from a knee injury. The captain should be better for the hit out.
6
Jonathan Joseph Outside centre
Concession of silly late penalty indicative of a frustrating night. Struggled to get into the game and missed three tackles.
5
Taulupe Faletau No 8
The Wales No 8’s carrying was one of the few major positives and his superb tackle prevented a try for Laulala.
7
Ben Te’o Inside centre
One of the few players who took the fight to the Barbarians, leading the way with his strong carrying and direct lines of running.
8
Jamie George Replacement hooker
Replaced Best after 49 minutes and looked comfortable on his Lions debut, throwing accurately and doing the basics well.
6
Tommy Seymour Winger
A virtual spectator in the first half but chased the high balls hard and made yards when he did get the ball.
5
Mako Vunipola Replacement loosehead prop
His carrying made an impact when he replaced Marler (49 mins). Their rivalry for a Test place will be compelling.
6
Jonathan Sexton Fly-half
Well below his best. Missed his first kick at goal, kicked one ball straight into touch and threw a couple of wayward passes.
5
Tadhg Furlong Replacement tighthead prop
Replaced Sinckler (49 mins) and brought a physical presence to a flagging pack with five tackles and two carries.
6
Greg Laidlaw Scrum-half
A disappointing display, missing two tackles in the first half, one of which allowed Sam Anderson-Heather to score.
5
George Kruis Replacement lock forward
The Saracens lock replaced Henderson (49 mins), adding some ballast and provided the Lions with a source of line-out ball.
6
Joe Marler Loosehead prop
Held up a driving maul to prevent a try and delivered a strong scrummaging performance.
6
Justin Tipuric Replacement flanker
Replaced Warburton (66 mins). A brilliant take from a high ball almost led to a try for Rhys Webb. Injected pace and energy.
6
Rory Best Hooker
Won a couple of turnovers, carried strongly and at times acted as a link in the midfield. Also made 11 tackles.
6
Owen Farrell Replacement fly-half
Gave the Lions more control and direction after replacing Sexton (48 mins). Twice involved in build-up to Watson’s try.
6
Kyle Sinckler Tighthead prop
Required strapping to his right elbow after a knock in the warm-up but it did little to curb a high-energy display.
6
Rhys Webb Replacement scrum-half
Should have been brought on before the 57th minute for Laidlaw and brought some fizz to the back line.
6
Alun Wyn Jones Lock forward
Finished the game as captain after Warburton went off and put in a sweatsoaked shift. The bedrock of the pack.
7
Eliot Daly Replacement Centre
