Some Finn magic in the air

AUSTRALIA could boast their own Harry Potter in their team.

- JEREMY CROSS

But it was the British and Irish Lions who possessed the genuine magician.

Take a bow, Finn Russell.

Forget about the fact the Lions kicked off this Test series with eight Irishmen in the starting lineup. Because this showdown at Suncorp Stadium was all about a Scotsman.

Head coach Andy Farrell spoke of how big players produce the goods in big games. It doesn’t get much bigger than a Lions Test Down Under.

And it doesn’t get much better than watching the mercurial skills of Russell.
