Wales Online 6/10: “The Lions needed a No8 who could get over the gainline and Conan couldn’t, apart from one snaking first half spurt.”
Telegraph 5/10: “Other than one cheeky dummy and burst, Conan was ineffective against the Bokke ballast. A selection error having no out-and-out No 8 replacement to inject energy”

Balls 5/10: “Really struggled with the South African rush defence and looked uncomfortable in a position he has not played much. Missed 3 tackles.”

Joe 4/10: “His poor first half ended with a long, missed penalty attempt. Finished up with 0 metres gained on six carries and missed three tackle.”
Rugby Pass 5/10: “He’s mixed the sublime with the ridiculous on this tour, but this was more the latter. Gatland’s gamble at 13 didn’t pay off.”
