1 Siale Lauaki — 6
Solid enough for the most part, although never really marked the game with any sort of physical authority. Played for 70 minutes, which is an impressive shift from a prop.
2 Samisoni Taukei’aho — 6
Was solid from the lineout and got decently involved with a few offloads and carries. Not the best performer, but far from the worst.
3 Pasilio Tosi — 5
Tosi held his own at scrum time without gaining much of an edge and made one notable carry. His overall display was solid rather than spectacular, although he conceded the penalty advantage that eventually led to the Lions scoring a try.
4 Sam Darry — 6
A hard-working display overall, although there were a few costly errors. Darry did well to win a penalty at the ruck, but conceded two breakdown penalties and threw a poor offload that was intercepted just five metres from the line.
5 Patrick Tuipulotu — 5
His age and experience counted for very little today, as he was subbed after just 48 points with his side 18 points down. It was an incredibly quiet performance from him, Tuipulotu’s main contribution was a simple assist for Narawa.
6 Wallace Sititi — 5
Sititi was very quiet and while he got involved with a handful of carries, he was mostly anonymous.
7 Ethan Blackadder — 7
Two tries were the clear highlight of a hard-working performance, but there was little else to get excited about. He carried strongly and helped his side take the lead, although an early knock-on close to his own line also contributed to a Lions try.
8 Semisi Ta’eiloa — 5
Lacked impact and while he worked hard, he produced very little of substance.
