The British and Irish Lions started their 10-game tour in impressive fashion with a 59-8 win over Barbarians. Here's how the Lions rated:
STUART HOGG: Ran some great lines, if only the passes had gone to hand. Quick and a danger in open play. 7/10
ALEX CUTHBERT: Two-try haul underlined why he is favourite to nail down the right-wing spot in the Test team. 7
JONATHAN DAVIES: Part of a dominant Lions midfield, showed good hands and mixed up intelligent play with strong running. 7
JAMIE ROBERTS: Picked up where he left off against South Africa in 2009 by blasting holes in the opposition defence. 8
SEAN MAITLAND: Suffered from a lack of ball, but hinted that he has plenty to offer in attack on this tour. 6
OWEN FARRELL: Excellent place kicking was undermined by his punch on Schalk Brits. Made several errors. 5
MIKE PHILLIPS: The outstanding player on the pitch, he crossed twice and is all but assured of his place in the Test team. 9
MAKO VUNIPOLA: Has been a wrecking ball for Saracens, but failed to have the same impact for the Lions. 6
RICHARD HIBBARD: The line-out functioned well and he was instrumental in the success of the set-piece. 7
ADAM JONES: Instrumental in dismantling the Barbarians' scrum, giving the Lions a crucial platform. 8
RICHIE GRAY: Quick and skilful, showed his comfort on the ball during one phase in the first half. Otherwise quiet. 6
PAUL O'CONNELL: Scorer of the first try of the tour, the 2009 skipper put his hand up for Test selection. 7
DAN LYDIATE: In the thick of the action but needs more game-time after coming back from ankle surgery. 6
JUSTIN TIPURIC: One of 11 new Lions, showed he is a genuine alternative to Sam Warburton at openside. 8
TOBY FALETAU: Immense work-rate, made the hard yards around the breakdown time and again. 8
REPLACEMENTS
TOM YOUNGS: First line-out throw was off-target, but then settled. 5
CIAN HEALY: One run showed how destructive he can be. 6
MATT STEVENS: Part of dominant Lions display in the second half. 5
ALUN WYN JONES: Desperate to reclaim his Lions Test place. 5
JAMIE HEASLIP: Faces a fierce battle with Faletau for the No.8 jersey. 5
CONOR MURRAY: Great break led to one of Cuthbert's tries. 6
JONATHAN SEXTON: Replaced Farrell and kicked well. 6
GEORGE NORTH: Strong run set up a try. 5
