00:14Lowe on the inside Lowe's side strong attack oh what a start for the captain

00:20Russell right on the money, Dan Sheehan with the widest of Lions captain smiles

00:29unbelievable start up there comes out now with White little pullback it's going out

00:40to Pichu got it all going when he rose in the air his offload is good Donaldson that was a little bit

00:46high release and roll release and roll frantic moments at the start of this match at both

00:53ends of the field White tries to go in there and they're back and it's the captain's night thus far first Sheehan now White

01:05that's a good line from van der Vler Pollock's gone with him he set him up and now we might see that pace

01:18Pollock he's looking all around for support oh Russell's there so too Williams

01:22that's old head young shoulder stuff that is that's brilliant from Pollock that's his USP he's got

01:32that pace and that line break ability I love his maturity with his handling ability and pick out

01:37that's the call there from the referee

01:50and when you're 35 and weigh 130 kilos and you set off it's difficult to then stop

01:56and taken quickly by the Lions and Russell he has seen what's possible here Pollock was with him where's the ball

02:10it's on the try line and beyond and score by Elliot Daly and it's led to a bit of a reaction and this is

02:19where Russell I think he's great at figuring out plan B the plan A doesn't work what else has got up his

02:23sleeve I think that's one of Russell's USPs he can figure out another way Simon Cron the head coach

02:31will be furious I mean it's schoolboy stop isn't it a penalty the kicking tee hasn't come on but he

02:36hasn't yet kicked a touch just keep your eyes open don't turn your back they were all the force were

02:42all heading to the lineup Carter will be furious with himself there it's a slotty

02:53piece of play for the turnover Hanson foot down and James Lowe went with him another lovely combination

02:59that it's behind Thomas Williams but he did really well to take it in now he's looking inside back to Lowe

03:04are they going to work it between themselves back to Williams they had worked it between themselves

03:09that was a belter of a lion's score it's what we didn't really see against Argentina look flood the

03:19channel one two three four five six seven last week when Albinoff scored his try just before half

03:25time flooding channels coming just watch tag burn on the inside though by the way just run stays behind

03:30the ball the whole time and keeps to Krepny away

03:37and Rose to Pollock

03:40doesn't really need a rest to feel fresh but it should be buzzing at the moment on the

03:45lions hole with some lovely hands from Daly and back inside it goes and ring Rose is going to

03:52celebrate being a lion with scoring a try

03:58that will feel so so good to him it's been a long time coming he's had to be patient

04:10and here's Henry Pollock with one of his little chips over the top he takes it

04:20good release and it was a brilliant release because it's the thought behind it as well as

04:26the physical execution of it here's Chesson trying to get that debut try Mitchell on to van de fleer

04:32here McCarthy bookman is in he made his name scoring a try like that against sale

04:42comfortable with the chip chase and then the recycling i feel the last 10 15 minutes

04:48second half the alliance are flexing here

04:55there's a lot of force players committed here

04:57here Mitchell could smith find the space yes he can and he can find Elliot Daly to walk it in

05:09final 10 minutes of the lions approaching the 50 point mark here

05:16i'm still looking they'll keep going as they try and get to that half century
