Lions player ratings as they overcome a strong Brumbies side

Another win on the books.

However, the Lions faced a fired up Brumbies side and got the job done, winning 36-24, with some of their best tries so far.

Ellis Genge - 7

Scrum looked strong once again, but gave away a silly penalty for diving into a ruck while the Lions were attacking deep in the Brumbies 22.

Dan Sheehan - 8

The most telling stat from the Leinster man was his 100% record at the lineout.

We finally saw him make one of his trademark line breaks as well, and he showed brilliant hands at times.

Tadhg Furlong - 7

His best performance in any jersey in a long, long time.

Scrummaged well, looked abrasive, and chipped in with 7 tackles.

Maro Itoje - 7.5

Another industrious display from the captain.

A towering lineout performance.

Joe McCarthy - 7

Lineout was good, and showed his handling skills with some perfect pull-back passes.

A shoo-in for the test team it looks like.

Ollie Chessum - 7

Has possibly secured a Test spot today.

Was astute at blindside before moving to second row, showing valuable versatility.

Tom Curry - 6.5

Another game where he didn't make the impact he would have liked.

Behind Jac Morgan, Josh van der Flier, and Henry Pollock for the Test team.

Jack Conan - 7.5

Wasn't a highlight-reel showing by any means, but he finished the game with the most metres and tackles made of any player on the pitch.

Jamison Gibson-Park - 7.5

A strong showing, and got vital minutes in what will more than likely be the Test half-back partnership.

Finn Russell - 8.5

Another class performance from the player of the tour so far.

Two misjudged cross-field kicks aside, he was flawless in nearly every department.

James Lowe - 7

Was unlucky to have a try held up in the first half, but scored soon after.

Again, his boot was invaluable.

Bundee Aki - 7

Had a woeful pass straight into touch when there was plenty of space to attack.

Made some massive carries, but had a relatively quiet second half.

Garry Ringrose - 8

The best performance of any centre this Tour.

Made and scored a superb try and carried brilliantly rather than forcing the play.

Tommy Freeman - 6.5

Chased kicks well but would have preferred to have seen more ball.

Marcus Smith - 6.5

Was caught far too narrow, providing the Brumbies with an easy try just after coming on the pitch.

Had a lovely kick to set up Garry Ringrose for his try.

Replacements:

Rónan Kelleher - 6.5

Andrew Porter - 7

Will Stuart - 6.5

Josh van der Flier - 7

Henry Pollock - 7

Alex Mitchell - 6.5
