A ruthless British and Irish Lions side ran in 10 tries to overwhelm a willing but outgunned semi-professional Combined Country side 64-0 and maintain their unbeaten start to the tour of Australia yesterday. Winger George North confirmed his rich form with two of the tourists’ six first-half tries. With Warren Gatland planning to play a majority of his test side against the New South Wales Waratahs on Saturday, the Lions had no motivation to go easy on the invitational side, which included a carpenter, plumber and a medical student.
