Only thing of any significance so far is Cian Healy being stretchered off. Twisted left knee. Didn't look good.

The worst thing about this Lions tour, is that so many of the games fall during the working day.

I'm starting to think it would be more constructive if some tier 2 nations were given the opportunity to be opposition for the Lions games.

Some teams (US, Canada, Fiji) get very few opportunities to play against decent teams outside of World Cups and would provide a more meaningful opposition for the Lions, too.

The problem with that is that its meant to be a tour, the lions coming to play the local teams of whichever of the three countries they are touring at that time. You also dont want the games to be to tough because all the players will be carrying knocks into the test games.

Piss poor display from Western Force, Leigh Halfpenny's kicking a perfect 11 from 11. Good signs for the Lions.
