    Late change as Halfpenny replaces Payne at 23.

    That's Payne's tour is done I think...he did look hurt last week...I expect a few to out their hands up for selection at the weekend, Best and to a lesser degree Stander amongst the Irish....Lawes has to be a shoe in if he plays well...Joseph is an outside bet... other than that...can't see anyone else getting in ?

    I'd say the only way Joseph comes into contention whatsoever is if Davies is injured. I reckon the fact that he was the odd man out from last week's midweek game means that he's completely out of the running.

    According to Murray Kinsella he's missing this due to a headache...

    Jared Payne must be related to my wife.

    Payne is in danger of taking the Jonny Sexton/Eric Miller Tampax mantle. 1 week in, 3 weeks out. He has averaged 9 starts for Ulster in the last 3 seasons.

    Feel sorry for him. He's a critical part of the Irish set up but he has had a pretty harsh time of it with injury over the past 2 years. If he doesn't get a prolonged injury-free run of it, his test career won't recover given he's 32 in the autumn.

    Lions destroyed at that scrum. Poite gives a very delayed penalty.

    Poor carrying from Stander and Henderson blow a very good opportunity for points. Both too upright and driven back/held up.

    Good intercept from Laidlaw, try Seymour.

    Henshaw off with injury for Halfpenny. Looks like his tour is over.

    That's a pity. The tour never got going for him at all.

    Biggar kicking well. Not actually much between these sides aside from discipline. The Hurricanes are miles offside in defence and haven't copped on at all.

    Biggar is average as hell in most aspects as a #10, but he's an outstanding goal kicker.

    The issue of Halfpenny on the bench is exposed. A centre goes off and we're screwed with his lack of versatility on the bench.

    Lawes reading their lineout very well so far. The test side really missed Best's ruck work.

    Murray Kinsella makes a good point re North. He must be seriously pissed off that in his last chance to stake a claim for a place in the test 23 h has been forced to move to 12 to cover injury.

    Kiwi's even their club sides and second tier players are levels above the Lions in offloading. Not just skill level but knowing when to offload and when to leave it.

    If he is, then he has totally missed the lions ethos
    I don't think he is pissed off, he's just getting on with his job

    Would like to see a reverse angle on that, to see if he actually touched it down or not.

    Great kick from Biggar, good chase from Halfpenny, lovely hands from Henderson and good support from North.

    All of them improving their case for inclusion.

    North is certainly more involved today than he had been previously, even before the try.
