The Lions run in six tries as they emerge comprehensive 38-14 winners over Connacht despite playing much of the game with 14 men.
The Lions grabbed a stunning bonus-point 38-14 win against a disappointing Connacht in Galway, despite being down to 14 men for over an hour.
Some sloppy penalties gave the Lions a five-metre line-out and some good hands led to Horn leaping over from close range. Jordan Hendrikse nailed the conversion to give the Lions a perfect start. The television match official then drew attention to a high tackle from prop Ntlabakanye and referee Craig Evans decided the challenge merited a red card.
Connacht responded with a score by Hanrahan from a well worked move from the base of a scrum inside the Lions' 22. The fly-half dusted himself down to knock over the extras but this would be as close as the Irish province would get to the South Africans.
