Galleries

Jack Nowell: He was making an eloquent case for his footballing ability as a fullback when then forced to switch to wing - where he didn’t have quite as much influence, but a solid performance. Rating: 7

Hurricanes 31 Lions 31 - Player ratings

Liam Williams: Wonderful counter-attack that led to Sean O’Brien’s try and had some fine moments in attack, but that dropped high ball was careless and costly. Four turnovers conceded and a missed tackle too. Rating: 6.
