The Lions 3 best and 3 worst players against the Stormers

#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.

#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rare scoreless day for the Cardiff wing, who was not at his best but played a key role in the opening try before being withdrawn after 58 minutes.”
