British and Irish Lions 2025 player ratings – who impressed?
Finlay Bealham: Zander Fagerson was brought back when he had to withdraw. In the opening game of Lions, Put a strong scrummaging screen against Argentina, which has been looking for the form of Tadhg Furlong. It overcome by Furlong and Will Stuart, but there’s no shame in it. 6
Tadhg Beirne: Unbelievable. It wasn’t the best when it came to the tour, but as time passed, it was an absolute machine; Power, transportation, fighting count, stolen minutes. Lions is a bright tour of the perspective and the actor of the series. 9.5
Ollie Chessum: After Joe McCarthy’s injury, he entered the test team for Melbourne, but did not do his best per day and was left to the bank for the third test. He will only return in 24, 2029. 7
Jack Conan: One of the 11 players who started all three tests. Conan was ruthlessly hard for his own performance in the second test in Melbourne, but a strong man, a strong man. Not exactly in the gas, but good. 7.5
Luke Cowan-Dickie: He played well at both beginnings in Australia, but the second – Aunz Invitational – when the game ended on his head after a terrible blow. He used to put heat on Ronan Kelleher for a test counter. 6.5
Scott Cummings: When he could not cope with the restarting against the Western power, the nightmare made a nightmare. It was really good after that. He returned with a good performance against the Waratah and was again strong against the first nations and Pasifika. 6.5
Tom Curry: It looks permanently exhausted, but what a sensational player. Emptys the tank every time. Demonic physical being. In the first test, adjust the tone to James Slipper with a hit kick and never let it allow. 9
Ben Earl: He went around Australia with a permanent smile fixed to his face. As a lion, he clearly loved every second of life. And he played well. Two of the three tests are a bench point. Maybe it’s lucky not to get a yellow card in Melbourne, but the job rate was very big. 7.5
Tadhg Furlong: Now in the modern age, only the nine consecutive Lion tests, which were just strange, started. The tour did not play too much rugby, but it was better and better. The third test was a difficult night, but he did military service. A lion is great. 8.5
Ellis Genge: A perfect tour for loose propelle. It is very robust in Scrum and a large ball carrier in most of his games. He started the first test and was strong. In the second test, he came out of the counter, and he helped to take the lions forward in very important moments. 8
Maro Itoje: Such a challenging individual. Bright and thoughtful. A good company at press conferences and smaller meetings. You wanted to hear what the captain said. For a large part of the tour, until the last test goes wrong after an early HIA failed. He kidnapped him when the lions weren’t there. 9
