Lift-off for Lions as Pollock runs riot

LIONS boss Andy Farrell refused to go overboard after another episode of the Henry Pollock Show in his side's 54-7 win over Western Force in Perth yesterday

And Farrell has an injury worry after Tomos Williams, below, limped off with a hamstring problem after scoring his second try of the game on 47 minutes. The Welshman will be assessed this morning with Farrell waiting to make a call if a replacement is needed with England's Jack van Poortvliet and Scotland's Ben White next in line.

Pollock had a hand in two tries, got yellow carded and had a scuffle with Force lock Darcy Swain on another day when the ball followed him around leaving Farrell saying there is more to come from the 20-year-old.

Farrell said: "We were a little bit desperate in the first half to try and make something happen the whole time not just with the ball but without it with hands in the ruck etc.

"Henry got a yellow card because of repeated infringements which was fair enough but you saw his point of difference. He is learning all the time and there is plenty to work on to make sure we are the team we want to be and he is part of that."
