After leading 21-7 at half-time, the British & Irish Lions ran out easy 56-14 winners with Welsh wing Josh Adams helping himself to four tries.

It was a positive first outing on South African soil for Warren Gatland’s men who will next play the Sharks – also at Ellis Park – on Wednesday, 7 July.

Kick-off is at 19:00 SA time.
