It has been a 28 year wait, spanning 21 matches and 28 hours & 9 minutes of game time since Alan Tait was the last @Scotlandteam player to score a Test try for the @lionsofficial. Drought ended by a Sione Tuipulotu try assisted by Finn Russell.
✨ PURE MAGIC ✨ Simply stunning from Finn Russell, who loops a pinpoint pass to Sione Tuipulotu for the first score. Conversion: Russell. #Lions2025
“Gutted it ended the way it did, but so proud to have been part of this special group.” Darcy Graham after his Lions tour was ended by injury. Such a shame. With Mack Hansen still seemingly an injury doubt, he might well have had a sniff of Test action.
Nice to see Sam Warburton highlighting Scott Cummings’ contribution. Would’ve been easy to shrink and fade away after a tough start to the tour but he’s stood up and delivered some big performances.

The pass for Sione’s try was the showstopper, but Finn Russell’s defence has been superb today.
