    Aside from a missed penalty and missed cross field how has sexton been poor? Hes linking up well with teo and putting players thru space. Defending really well also. Think he's having a tidy game considering the ****e going on around him.

    He has thrown two or three pretty sloppy passes as well.

    His passing has been pretty mixed to be fair. I think he has gotten a bit disconnected from the receivers which makes the pass look worse but still putting lions in back foot.

    Conditions don't really help with handling but Jesus it's been terrible from both sides

    He threw a pass to the left at the end of the second half that was behind the whole back line and we lost 15meters from it.

    His inside ball to Seymour a few minutes ago was behind the player as well. Took the impact away.

    Best has been very good

    Sexton's last action to give away a penalty for a high tackle.

    Sums up his evening.

    Do you mean the inside ball to Watson? Watson clearly overran that one.

    Ah I think a lot of those passes were down to the runners as much as him. Timing has been awful.

    Two botched kicks from hand and two atrocious passes.

    Matt Matich has his number.

    Not at all

    A preplanned move that Sexton simply threw to late. It's the out halves responsibility to hit the runner in that situation.

    Baa-bass 8 very clever off that tap. Prevented Falatau joining the ruck and helped win the penalty.

    A bit harsh on Sexton to take him off there. Not great but needs game time.

    Timing has been off alright, just not sure how can say he was one of Lions "good" players

    Pretty disappointing for Sexton and Henderson, Best went pretty well. Hopefully My favourite non Ulster Irish player has a good cameo now. Sinclair has laid down a bit of a marker.

    It was simple enough but the symbolism of Farrell giving a try scoring pass isn't great for Sexton. Although of course Barnes will go OTT about it

    Game seems to speeded up a bit since Farrell came on.

    Looked like Faletau was waiting for the offload instead of securing the ruck.

    Not that it was going anywhere anyway, but that is Sexie's tour done for sure.
    Falatau and Teo standing up to be counted, staking their clams, and putting up their hands for test jerseys.
    Other wise we had a good gawk at the midweek dirt trackers.

    Yup. It's unfortunate timing for sexton. Doesn't look good for him already.

    But sexton had 50 mins and didn't show up well

    Farrell is a massive improvement over Sexton.

    Sexton will be battling with Biggar for a place on the bench in the test matches.
