There were plenty of standout stars for the Lions against the DHL Stormers – but these three players all but ended their hopes of a test place.
#1. Josh Adams
Pundit Arena (6/10): The Welsh winger didn’t do anything wrong but he wasn’t overly involved during the 58 minutes he was on the pitch.
Wales Online (5):Penalised early on for rolling on the floor after being tackled then spilled a pass after offering himself on an inside burst in the second quarter. Few other opportunities. Not the heroics of previous matches.
Joe 5: Lost the ball forward on one carry. Made only four carries (for 26 metres) and missed a couple of tackles. His quietest game of what has been an otherwise excellent tour.
Planet Rugby 6: "A rare scoreless day for the Cardiff wing, who was not at his best but played a key role in the opening try before being withdrawn after 58 minutes."
#2. Rory Sutherland
Wales Online 5: Lucky not to be penalised in the first scrum when he went to ground and then caught offside in one Lions attack. Helped steady the set-piece after early instability, but didn’t pull up any trees regarding Test selection.
Joe 6: Was getting on the wrong side of Wayne Barnes with early scrum engagements. Got the better of his opposite number, later in the first half, to win his side a penalty.
#3. Elliot Daly
Pundit Arena 6: The Englishman showed lovely hands for a van der Merwe break in the early half, but like Adams he wasn’t given much opportunity.
Wales Online 5: One giant booming kick to touch showed his value in that area but after being stepped by Cheslin Kolbe in midweek his defence was exposed again with several Stormers players slipping through him.
Joe 6: Fell off two of his three tackle attempts.
Planet Rugby 6: "The versatile England ace made his third start of the tour at 13 and is growing into his new role but must improve in defence."
