A gulf in fact.
Yes, they're Test players versus provincials, but the provincials have more time together which should make a difference.
And we've got a system that is paper thin for professionals

Oh if that was a Reds player rugby on reddit would already have a "was this a missed card?" Post by now.
And some stupid Irish fluffybunny pontificating it was a straight red

Not sure the lions backs were 5m behind the scrum...
Very rarely called for the attacking side at any level

@ACT-Crusader Reds losing their shape too, late arrivals to clean. Lions at test match intensity would have won a penalty there i reckon.

Lions showing a bit more in attack now lifting their intensity with players coming from deep and at pace. Reds defence is at 6s and 7s.

That's a harsh penalty TBF

Winger makes a great spot tackle but lightning ball. Geez this is impressive by the Lions, they're at training speed

Morgan has been very busy. Some good old fashion openside play, hitting rucks with some reckless abandon and even a couple from an extra wide gate…..

And a try
He'll start a Test in one tactical combo or watch from the stands in another
Be interesting to see which game plan and which back row combo Farrell will start in Test 1
