The British & Irish Lions continued their attacking dominance with a commanding 52-12 victory over the Queensland Reds in Brisbane last night in Australia.

The visitors were all class as they picked apart the Reds' defence despite a strong start from the hosts.

The Queensland Reds were fired up in the first half and took it to the Lions through Wallaby Hunter Paisami.

The Lions were unrelenting with their attacking pressure, forcing some desperate Reds defence as their counter-attack proved the difference throughout the 80 minutes.

The Lions led 21-12 at halftime.

The Lions picked up from where they left off in the first half and scored another 31 points while the Reds were left scoreless in the second half.

The Lions will play the New South Wales Waratahs at 11am this Saturday.
