3 best and 3 worst players for the Lions in the third test

#1. Maro Itoje (England)

JOE: “Made one bullocking carry that was so good that he was left isolated inside the Bok 22 and was turned over. All action from the England lock. Won the 80th minute restart” 8

Pundit Arena: “The Englishman was excellent again for the tourists, having made almost 30 metres from eight carries, as well nine tackles, more than any of his team mates. He also made one steal in a good but losing effort from the Lions.” 8

RUCK: “Probably claimed a 2-1 series win over Eben Etzebeth as the worlds two best locks clashed. However, it still wasn’t enough. ” 8

Telegraph: “Itoje was the target for the lineout that brought Ken Owens’ pushover and delivered an all-action outing once again. A fine series in defeat. ” 8

Off The Ball: “Maro Itoje has been the standout player in the test series, with physicality and leadership being his biggest assets.” 8

#WORST PLAYERS:

#3. Josh Adams (Wales)

Rugby Pass: “Fumbled the ball more than once and – and other than a few darts – never really got to showcasec his attacking game.” 5.5

Ball.IE: “A quiet night for the Walsh attack wizard.” 5
