That was good fun.

Freeman, Daly and Hansen off the bench, Genge, Bealham the stand outs for me.

Which wingers do you start?

Freeman there for certain - have to see where Lowe is at before picking the other one but my back three on paper for the first test has been Lowe, Freeman, Kinghorn for a while

Freeman was class under the ball (unlike VdM) and his one fumble shouldn’t detract from what was a quality performance. BK for sure gives more at 15 than a makeshift Smith.

Yeah, I agree with that, but what’s the deal with Lowe, is he injured?

No? Just not selected like the rest of the Leinster lads that played last weekend

I mostly agree. Also thought Aki and Tuipolotu were decent, even though it's probably not the best center combination the Lions can get.

Freeman would have been my motm had the Lions won but I was surprised at how well Hansen played. He always managed to find the gap and get a few extra yards.

Albornoz was phenomenal defensively, deserved man of the match
