He held on quite a bit, but there was no need to continue… he’s in good spirits.\n\n\n

Blair Kinghorn fue sustituido por lesi\u00f3n y se le vio aplicando hielo en la rodilla.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nMarcus Smith, who came on for Kinghorn, had a good performance and scored one of the Lions’ five tries.\n\n

He had some very good touches. He is dangerous with the ball in hand. They are good learnings for him.<\/p>Andy Farrell<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nFarrell fielded a team very similar to the one expected for the first match against the Wallabies, with second row Maro Itoje as captain and fly-half Finn Russell directing the game.\n\nThe Lions got off to a bad start, conceding a try in the opening minutes, but they prevailed to secure their fourth consecutive win on their tour of Australia, following victories over Western Force, Queensland Reds and New South Wales Waratahs.\n\n

Our game control was quite good tonight, which allowed us to keep the pressure in the right end of the field. So that’s a good step forward.<\/p>Andy Farrell<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

We’re in a good moment… we’re doing well in certain aspects of the game, at times, etc., but we need to improve in all areas.<\/p>Andy Farrell<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n“It’s a good feeling,” said Itoje, sitting next to Farrell at the post-match press conference.\n\n

We know we are not the finished product, we know we have to improve, we know we have to progress. But I think that’s a very good position for us.<\/p>Maro Itoje<\/cite><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
