No try. Lions go close but Payne’s effort is ruled out as he’s in touch #BLUvBIL #LionsNZ2017

Unless he comes back on and scores a couple, Liam Williams there with surely one of the worst Lions debuts. #LionsNZ2017
— Ben Coles (@bencoles_) June 7, 2017
Liam Williams on the pitch 5 minutes, concedes two penalties and gets a yellow card. Crazy stupid. #LionsNZ2017

Itoje would be better using his energy to assist in the tackle than appealing to the ref and dancing #LionsNZ2017
