Fans rate Lions player 3.5/10 despite comfortable win against Sharks

The British and Irish Lions overcame rising coronavirus uncertainty to claim a composed eight-try win against the Sharks.

Organisers confirmed the game was on less than two hours before kick-off after a Lions player and a management team member tested positive.

Head coach Warren Gatland made eight late changes because of players isolating.

Fans have rated all 15 players, ranking hat-trick hero Josh Adams as the best player with 8.7, while other treble scorer Duhan van de Merwe came second with 8.5.

Check out the full rankings (1-15) below.

#1. Fullback: Josh Adams – 8.7./10

To use an elite coaching term.

Josh Adams is absolutely shitting tries.
