Blues 22 - 16 British & Irish Lions: How the Lions rated

15 LEIGH HALFPENNY - Solid enough effort in defence and attack, kicked well at goal. 6/10.

14 JACK NOWELL - Arrived on the tour with first refusal on a Test shirt - made so many errors here he will now be playing catch-up. 4.

13 JARED PAYNE - Botched a good try chance and then suffered what could prove a damaging injury. 6.

12 ROBBIE HENSHAW - Unable to cut loose in a midfield where he was well marshalled but failed to offer sufficient guile. 5.

11 ELLIOT DALY - Struggled to get onto the ball in the same roaming fashion he does when on England’s wing. 5.

10 DAN BIGGAR - Managed the game well and certainly pushed himself ahead of Johnny Sexton in the early pecking order - if he is not injured of course. 6.

9 RHYS WEBB - The Lions’ clear best talent on the night. Sharp, spiky and well in the frame for the Test team now, if he’s not injured. 8.

1 JACK MCGRATH - Another solid shift from Ireland’s Mr Dependable, surely in pole position at loosehead. 7.

2 KEN OWENS - Solid effort from the captain on the night but not enough still for the win. 7.

3 DAN COLE - Always puts it in to a level and bossed the scrum, but was quiet elsewhere. 6.

4 MARO ITOJE - Unusually leaky on the penalty front, and by his high standards will have wanted far more here. 6.

5 COURTNEY LAWES - A physical, bruising effort from the big-tackling English lock. 7.

6 JAMES HASKELL - Still struggling to recapture the form that made him man of England’s series win in Australia last summer. 5.

7 JUSTIN TIPURIC - The Lions were outgunned over the ball and Tipuric could do nothing to change that. 5.

8 CJ STANDER - Finished his try well and carried as hard as always. 7.
