Queensland Reds 12-52 British and Irish Lions: Tourists score eight tries


Tommy Freeman scored twice as the British and Irish Lions ran in eight tries in a comprehensive victory over the Queensland Reds in Brisbane.

The Lions turned around at the break with a 21-12 lead, Andrew Porter and Duhan van der Merwe also going over with Jeffery Toomaga-Allen and Josh Flook scoring for the hosts, who started with a bang.

The Reds took the lead with that try from Toomaga-Allen and regained it when Flook scored, but the Lions dominated thereafter.

There was a big performance from captain Maro Itoje, who scored the fourth, and a huge shift from Jac Morgan, who got the fifth. Freeman added a sixth and the seventh came when Huw Jones broke away on his own.

In the last act, Garry Ringrose made it eight tries and more than a half-century for the second game running.
