I've just read a Guardian article saying Tommy Freeman didn't do enough. I thought he was one of the better players on the pitch, and these numbers seem to support that.

I thought Mack Hansen was also fantastic when he came on. Also borne out by the numbers.

I wasn't really surprised by any of the other performances, except for Mitchell's reverse pass which was about the most glorious moment in the game. Shame it was on the Lions try line lol.

Freeman had a load of positive contributions and a couple errors, one of which was quite consequential but honestly, probably Lions' PotM for me.

Mack looked sharp when he came on and so did Daly, whose been done dirty with these stats.

Wouldn't mind seeing those three have a run out but I'm sure Blairhorn will be prioritised with Daly being the ideal No. 23 imo.
