George North scores for Lions v Australia

GEORGE NORTH scored one of the great Lions tries during the pulsating win over Australia on Saturday. The Welsh winger marked his Lions Test debut with an outstanding 60m charge to the line after collecting a high kick, leaving a trail of Wallabies in his wake.

Not only did the try almost take the roof off the Suncorp Stadium. It also breathed life into the Lions, who were trailing 7-3 at the time and appeared to have let the occasion, and the referee, unsettle them in the opening stages.
