Overview

• The Lions secured 54-7 and 52-12 victories in Perth and Brisbane but conceded early scores in both matches before dominating second halves.
• Injuries to Tomos Williams and Elliot Daly prompted call-ups for Ben White, Blair Kinghorn and Owen Farrell this week.
• Maro Itoje returned from rest to score under the posts while Jac Morgan earned man-of-the-match honours to strengthen their first-Test claims.
• Coach Andy Farrell praised the team’s powerful attacking bursts but flagged handling errors and slow starts as focal points for improvement.
• The side faces New South Wales Waratahs on Saturday in Sydney, the first of three remaining warm-up matches before the Test series begins on July 19.
