Lions man marking
8
Mako Vunipola Prop His relentless work-rate and ability to carry and retain possession even when isolated gave the Lions the edge.
6
Ken Owens Replacement His scrummaging presence bolstered the scrum in the final quarter as the Lions set-piece turned the screw.
6
Stuart Hogg Full-back Bright start, claiming two kick-offs confidently, but lasted just 20 minutes before being forced off with a cut to head.
8
Jamie George Hooker A dynamic performance from the England man in the loose, and line-out functioned well apart from one over-throw.
7
Jack McGrath Replacement One wonders how Gatland will be able to pick his Test front row. The Ireland prop made a crucial impact from the bench.
7
George North Wing Spearheaded a number of Lions’ attacks from close to the breakdown, using his strength to good effect.
7
Tadhg Furlong Prop Carried strongly. The Lions scrum was not always dominant but they were up against the likely All Black front five.
7
Dan Cole Replacement Brought experience and valuable scrummaging prowess just when the Lions needed it most.
6
Jonathan Davies Centre Another early casualty after a collision. It was a shame as he looked to be forming a potent midfield partnership with Te’o.
7
Alun Wyn Jones Lock If Sam Warburton is not available then the Wales lock should be Lions captain. Was a towering presence once again.
7
Maro Itoje Replacement His line speed has been one of the standout features so far, and he made some monstrous hits to deny the Crusaders.
7
Ben Te’o Centre Backed up his standout display against the Barbarians with a mix of power and quick feet, but errors crept into his game.
8
George Kruis Lock Caught offside early on but is another who appears to be a Test certainty with this superb line-out display.
7
CJ Stander Replacement The strength of the Lions bench may be critical to their hopes of winning the series, and Stander is a perfect impact player.
8
Liam Williams Wing A much more composed and intelligent display. Attacking menace in kick-chase and rock solid under high ball.
8
Peter O’Mahony Flanker Made an important line-out steal early in the first half and was a powerful threat going forward.
7
Jonathan Sexton Replacement The Ireland fly-half adapted impressively to playing at centre and gave the Lions another play-maker in the midfield.
8
Owen Farrell Fly-half A commanding performance save for one missed penalty. Otherwise kicked beautifully, particularly out of hand.
7
Sean O’Brien Flanker His lack of game time eventually caught up with the flanker, but his speed and power brought a new dimension to the side.
7
Anthony Watson Replacement Came on at full-back and gave Warren Gatland much food for thought with his thrilling counter-attacking game.
9
Conor Murray Scrum-half Has one of the best kicking games, and his mastery gave Lions control and field position. Nailed down for Test place.
7
Taulupe Faletau No 8 The Wales man again flourished on the big stage. Pace, power and footballing prowess makes him vital to the Lions’ quest.
Best for Lions
