Another arm/wrist?
Not sure. I thought he was hobbling.
Just as well I'm not a medic.
To be fair he might just walk that way!

Biggar got run over - dirt tracker for sure...

Bit of a soulless game, this one. Hope there's no more injuries, it's already been a bit of a disaster.

Surely that was a free kick to Japan, there was no strike.

Could've done Aki for the neck roll or VDM holding on there.

Would be nice for the commentators to get the players names right occasionally.

Murray hasn't been too great today. Although Faletau should be there too that is Murrays man.

Was just thinking if I was Sutherland I'd be hating my 1st game since March being v Japan.

Faletau looks gassed already which is weird.

Largely some decent performances here against a very committed but underpowered and somewhat disorganised team. Happy with how most players are going, Murray aside. Would like to see more of the front five carrying perhaps.

A lot of them won't have had a game in a while. Training can only keep you so sharp.

Scrappy first half predictably, cant see any discernable game plan however. Biggar really standing out, Murray really not, the rest a bit meh.

Playing without a 7 means a slower game from the Lions, and with Murray playing like this there is no pace at all. Henshaw has been good when the ball has come his way

Thought it looked like a broken wrist for AWJ.
Really gutting - should have been captain 4 years ago, and now he's not even going to captain a test.

On the first angle it doesn't look like it's ever disconnected from him, in which case he can re-gather to place?

Murray has become very ponderous at the ruck.

Nice turn of pace there from Beirne.

I thought he played it perfectly, he used the touchline as a defender and backed his own pace to catch his man, which he dd
Stick with the narrative. The best tackling wing in the 6N is a poor defender.

Yep, but with a grumpier expression and a slightly thicker neck.
