TRY! It’s a second for van der Merwe!

They go through a couple of phases before spotting the overlap and spreading it wide, and they work it to the Scotland winger who can go over the line unchallenged.

TRY! Lions 12-0 AUNZ Invitational XV

TRY! IT’s another! The hosts barely have any time to recover.

It’s simple too, with the ruck forming near the 22 before Cowan-Dickie clears and Ben White spots the gap and picks and runs, going over with only a late challenge.

The conversion is landed this time.

TRY! Lions 5-0 AUNZ Invitational XV

Great stuff from the Lions, with Keenan taking the line-out quickly before it’s shipped into the middle. He spots Duhan van Der Merwe on the outside and offloads it quickly, and the Scotland winger has the space and crosses the line for the finish.

Fin Smith misses the conversion.

Lions 0-0 AUNZ Invitational XV

The Lions try to test the hosts with the up-and-under but the mark is called and it’s cleared long.

The Lions win the line-out and they’re continuing their early pressure at the moment.

Lions 0-0 AUNZ Invitational XV

Two early knock-ons, with the first giving the Lions a promising scrum but the next one coming from van der Merwe on the wing.

It’s kicked long and Keenan gets his hands on the ball for the first time, with his kick eventually being collected by a Lions teammate.
