Match Commentary

81'
81'7-13 End of second half
80'Owen Farrell boots the ball into touch and you can almost hear the sign of relief from the British & Irish Lions.
79'The Barbarians head to the corner with real purpose, the find their man until Mako Vunipola halts the rumble forwards and steals possession back. Relief all around and that?s a huge moment with one minute to go
76'Solid defence from the Lions keep the Barbarians press inside their own halkf, until the penalty is given away. The hosts move forwards and the nerves are still very much in the air for the visitors...
73'
72'Sevu Reece and Luteru Laulala are looking sharp as the Babarians press up field. Andrew Makalio decides that he wants to get involved and the forward charges forwards at breakneck speed... nervous moments for the Lions.
69'Player substituted - Keepa Mewett , Provincial Union XV
69'Substitute on - James Tucker , Provincial Union XV
68'
68'Another chance goes begging! Owen Farrell executes the up and under, it finds Justin Tipuric who has Rhys Webb on his shoulder. Webb flies forwards but knocks-on short of the line.
67'MISSED PENALTY | It's a kick that Owen Farrell normally puts over in his sleep but this time he hits the posts. As the ball bounces off the upright the Lions knock-on and possession is handed back to the Barbarians.
67'Player substituted - Sam Warburton , British and Irish Lions

60'Off quick ball the replacement fly-half Joe Webber decides to fly the missed pass out wide to Sam Vaka. Webber looks for the wrap back but once he gets it, he?s bundled into touch. Close for the Barbarians.
58'Once again Bryn Gatland is showing his ability in the fly-half jersey as he eats up the metres with a kick forwards and gains his side some valuable field position. That will be his last contribution to the game and he's done himself and the occasion proud.

48'Ooosssh!! Andrew Makalio gets the grips with Alun Wyn Jones in style - the replacement puts a thunderous hit on the lock that could have been heard back in Wales but the experienced Lions shrugs it off

41'+27-3 End of first half
40'Off the five-metre scrum the ball flies away to Jonathan Joseph, he's held up over the Lions and the Barbarians take their four-point lead into the break!
40'The hooter sounds as the British & Irish Lions are pressing hard close to the line. They pick and go without any reward so Johnny Sexton decides to open up the field but his pass is poor.
40'7-3 Start of second half
39'The British & Irish Lions look determined to make something before the break. Once again it's Taulupe Faletau who bulldozes through the defenders in front of him but the visitors are just held short. Five-metre scrum...
36'It's not going the way of the British & Irish Lions yet, off the next attacking platform Johnny Sexton looks for the cross-field kick but he shoots it out on the full. There's a few cobwebs out there right now for the tourists.
34'A late hit gives the Lions another set piece and it looks like Sam Warburton has powered over but referee Angus Gardner doesn?t like it as penalises them for obstruction.
31'A key break from Ross Moriarty gets the Lions on the front foot. Kyle Sinckler shows great hands to pop a pass out to Ben Te'o and Stuart Hogg puts his foot on the gas. The full-back it hauled down with the line in sight but the Lions have the five-metre scrum.
29'The Lions first chance of the match comes down the right-hand-side however the final pass from Stuart Hogg to Anthony Watson is wayward and the winger is bundled into touch.
29'
28'The hosts have the wind in their sails right now and they are the ones playing with all of the freedom. Where can the British & Irish Lions find their spark from?
24'
24'TRY | The hosts put the high ball up, it causes the Lions issues. Off the possession the Barbarians' captain Sam Anderson-Heather powers over from close range. Gatland adds the conversion to ensure that it's a full complement of early points.

18'Taulupe Faletau delivers a storming try-saving tackle as the Barbarians break forwards with a three on one. Kaveinga Finau decides to go for the line but the Lions number eight turns him. Huge moment, sadly for Finau he's injured endeavouring to score the try.
17'PENALTY | This time Johnny Sexton makes no mistake off the tee, his second penalty sails through the middle and the British & Irish Lions are off the mark.
17'0-3 Penalty goal - Johnny Sexton , British and Irish Lions
12'The Barbarians exit well and off the chip forwards Stuart Hogg finds himself nutmegged by the bounce! Thankfully for the Scot it's on halfway so no major damage is done, just a bit of embarrassment for the full-back!
11'
11'Jonathan Joseph and Ben Te'o link together as the latter crashes over the gain-line, the British & Irish Lions are starting to put some tempo and pace on their attack now.
9'MISSED PENALTY | A small gasp rings around the crowd as Johnny Sexton misses his first penalty of the British & Irish Lions tour ? one that he would expect to knock over.
8'Two Barbarians' penalities in a row see the Lions finally head over halfway and into their first attacking position of the tour.
6'The Lions do well to weather this early storm - as the maul collapses they gain the turnover and finally have a chance to exit.
5'
4'Alun Wyn Jones is pinged for being offside, Bryn Gatland pops the cross-field kick to Sevy Reece but he knocks on. We head back for the penalty and the NZ Provincial Barbarians go for the corner again.
3'Off an early penalty the NZ Barbarians look to take the quick tap but they think against it and Gatland heads for the corner.
1'Warren Gatland's first half-time chat of the tour will need to be a big one! A key ten minutes ahead for the British & Irish Lions if they are to get a hold of this game. For the Barbarians it will be a case of more of the same please!
1'
1'Straight away the Provincial Barbarians are looking to settle into the game, Sevy Reece is looking sharp as they look to break forwards.
1'Both sides take to the field as the fireworks go off above the Toll Stadium. Sam Warburton leads out the British & Irish Lions while all eyes are on Bryn Gatland of the Provincial Barbarians facing his father!
1'... and so it begins!
