Tommy Freeman and Duhan van der Merwe were among the tries as the British and Irish Lions beat Queensland Reds
The British and Irish Lions picked up their second dominant victory on tour in Australia with a 52-12 win over the Queensland Reds but Elliot Daly suffered a serious-looking arm injury.
Daly, who was not originally meant to be involved in Brisbane but was brought in to start when full-back Hugo Keenan pulled out due to illness, departed gingerly in the second half holding his forearm.
All four nations were represented with tries for the Lions as England pair Tommy Freeman (two) and Maro Itoje, Ireland’s Andrew Porter and Garry Ringrose, Scotland duo Duhan van der Merwe and Huw Jones, and Wales’ Jac Morgan all scored.
Fly-half Finn Russell added four conversions, with replacement Fin Smith scoring two more with the boot.
The Reds twice took the lead in the first half through Jeffery Toomaga-Allen and Josh Flook tries, but the Lions ultimately proved far too strong.
