How the Lions roared
LIAM WILLIAMS 7 – A solid night’s work though he was unable ever to break free. Laid on scoring pass for Faletau’s try.
ANTHONY WATSON 6 –A scourge whenever he had ball in hand but struggled for regular action (NOWELL, 24-31, 7 – One costly mistake for a penalty in brief showing).
JONATHAN DAVIES 8 – One fine break almost saw him scuttle home. Another fine effort.
OWEN FARRELL 8 – Imperious showing from England’s composed and gritty playmaker.
ELLIOT DALY 7 – Another to threaten whenever he got the ball but who never saw enough of it.
JOHNNY SEXTON 7 – Had a solid game once he settled into the rhythm of pairing up with Farrell as twin playmakers.
CONOR MURRAY 8 – Showed his class again with a fine try and ran the game expertly as ever.
MAKO VUNIPOLA 6 – Lucky not to be hit with more than a yellow card for needless shoulder charge which blotted his night (McGRATH, 65, 7 – Kept his calm at the death to see the Lions home).
JAMIE GEORGE 8 – Quiet around the field but accurate as you like in the set-piece.
TADHG FURLONG 7 – Scrummaged well under pressure and solid showing (SINCKLER, 60 7 – Another tidy cameo from the fast-improving Harlequin).
MARO ITOJE 6 – Conceded far too many penalties and was hugely fortunate to avoid sin-binning for that.
ALUN WYN JONES 7 – A far stronger performance than last week, bound the pack together (LAWES, 58, 8 – Put himself about to huge effect for a fine late turn).
SAM WARBURTON 8 – Led from the front and dragged his men over the line.
SEAN O’BRIEN 8 – Another bullish performance from the one man the All Blacks do not know how to stop when on the charge.
TAULUPE FALETAU 9 – Absolute class from the Lions’ standout performer; so calm under pressure.
UNUSED – K Owens, CJ Stander, R Webb, B Te’o.
