A Lions mascot and a bunch of lookers meet up before the game. With temperatures of 30 degrees and 90% humidity predicted at kick-off, their decision to wear dungerees seems a sensible one

Just before the half hour mark, the first try of the tour comes courtesy of captain O'Connell who took the ball from a breakdown, dummied, and dived over a pile of men and the tryline. Farrell sticks the conversion through the posts Photograph: David Rogers/Getty Images

Just three minutes later Mike Phillips drops a shoulder down the inside left and breaks towards the line, with Rokocoko doing his best to hold him up ... Photograph: Philippe Lopez/AFP/Getty Images

… but the Lion is too strong for the Baa-Baa, he rolls him over and touches down. Sure-footed Farrell slots home the conversion and also another penalty to give a half-time score of 23-3 Photograph: David Rogers/Getty Images

From a line-out four minutes in to the second half, a quick palm down gave the ball to Phillips, who took a step to the left past the tail, before he slid back to the right and over the line for his second score of the match Photograph: David Rogers/Getty Images

Just before the hour mark Roberts picks up a loose pass 30 metres from the Baa-Baas' try-line. He knees it forward, then passes it left to Davies, who then hacks the ball forward before catching up with the bouncing ball and flopping over the line Photograph: David Rogers/Getty Images

Just two minutes later the Lions have some more points on the board after Roberts offloads to Cuthbert, who shows the Baa-Baas a clean pair of heels before diving over the line Photograph: David Rogers/Getty Images

Wyn Jones, second right, went over the line in the last minute to seal an emphatic 59-8 victory. Warren Gatland and his team will be thrilled with a near-perfect start to their tour. Next up are Western Force on Wednesday 5 June Photograph: Philippe Lopez/AFP/Getty Images
