 Despite Great Britain captain and halfback Shaun Edwards being sent-off after 25 minutes for a high shot on Australian second rower Bradley Clyde, the Lions put in another brilliant performance at Wembley and, as they had done in the first Test of the 1990 Kangaroo Tour, defeated the Kangaroos 8–4.Lions fullback Jonathan Davies, the "Welsh Wizard", put in a Man of the Match performance, including a 50-metre solo try in the first half after being put into a gap by Denis Betts then outpacing Australian fullback Brett Mullins to score in the corner.Davies was also a solid last line of defence, repelling many breaks by the Kangaroos, until he dived on a loose ball close to his line and was fallen on by teammate Barrie McDermott, resulting a dislocated shoulder midway through the second half saw him leave the field and later be ruled him out for the rest of the series as well as Wales' game against the Kangaroos before the second Ashes test.
