Stormers 3-49 British and Irish Lions: Tourists complete Test preparations with comfortable win

Warren Gatland had said before the match that "60-70%" of his Test team was fluid, but in the early stages players seemed to be moving out of rather than into contention.

Stormers fly-half Tim Swiel took the three points and the Lions continued to make mistakes as fly-half Smith dropped a high ball and Stuart Hogg's pass to Josh Adams went into touch. Then, player of the match Cowan-Dickie took the opportunity to prove his physical dominance as he pounced through a gap and stretched out an arm to finish his own score.

The hooker's first carry came in the build-up to a pacey Conan try and Jones made his sensational return to the field shortly after. Jones more than stood up to the task and attention soon turned from one of the tour's elders to young stars Smith and Rees-Zammit.
