Reds vs Lions AS IT HAPPENED: Scary tourists demolish Queensland as scoreboard 'got ugly quickly'

That wraps up Wide World of Sports' live coverage from another emphatic Lions performance in Brisbane.

Stay tuned to WWOS and Stan Sport for all the fallout.

The Lions go again on Saturday against the Waratahs in Sydney before the Wallabies tackle Fiji in Newcastle on Sunday.

Maro Itoje bounced over to score beside the posts to trigger another second half surge from the British and Irish Lions in a 52-12 win over the Queensland Reds on Wednesday.

The Lions are now two from two in five days in Australia after a 54-7 tour opening win over Western Force in Perth on the weekend.

The British and Irish lineup had it tough in the first half against the Force before opening up.

On a cool, windy night in Brisbane, the Lions again took a while to get started, twice falling behind to early tries before turning a 12-7 deficit into a 21-12 halftime lead.

Skipper Itoje, who was rested for the first game, ran powerfully onto an inside pass from scrumhalf Jamison Gibson-Park five minutes after the break to crack the game open, with the Lions scoring three tries in 15 minutes.

Flyhalf Finn Russell again orchestrated the Lions attack before he was rested after 55 minutes.

The Lions were determined to play with pace and high tempo, spreading the ball to the edges regularly and maintaining a positive attacking shape to generate space and scoring opportunities.

Winger Tommy Freeman was a beneficiary, scoring two tries, while Bundy Aki created opportunities in midfield and openside flanker Jac Morgan put in a player-of-the-match performance in a dominant forward pack, including a try for his efforts.

Huw Jones plucked an attempted chip kick out of the air and sprinted 60m for a counterattacking try to make it 47-12 and Garry Ringrose capped it off with a try five minutes into stoppage time.

The Lions have now won back-to-back matches after slipping to a 28-24 loss to Argentina in a warmup in Dublin before traveling to Australia for a nine game tour, which includes three Tests against the Wallabies.

The Lions will play the NSW Waratahs on Saturday in Sydney.

Injuries

Irish fullback Hugo Keenan was ruled out just ahead of the match and replaced by Elliot Daly, who scored two tries in the win over the Force.

Daly hurt his left forearm in a tackle late in the second half and didn't finish the match.

Welsh scrumhalf Tomos Williams was ruled out of the tour this week after injuring his left hamstring while scoring a try against the Force.

Early pressure

The Reds stunned the Lions with an early try and twice led in the first half.

Prop Jeff Toomaga-Allen powered through the defence and reached over to score the opener in the ninth minute after a strong break by centre Hunter Paisami.

Aki was held up over the line at the back of a driving maul from a lineout in the 12th minute, and the Lions again went close to scoring in the 16th until Daly's last pass went astray with the tryline open.

The pressure paid off in the 20th minute when the Lions created an overlap and spread the ball wide for Freeman to score untouched.

The Reds, playing in maroon and navy colors, were missing a host of starting players on duty for Australia's Test against Fiji on Sunday, but still threatened regularly.

Centre Josh Flook swooped onto a short, stabbed grubber kick from scrumhalf Kalani Thomas as the Lions defence rushed up, collected the half volley and dived over to give the Reds a 12-7 lead after 25 minutes.

The Lions went within inches of scoring two minutes later but couldn't ground the ball.

There was no doubt over prop Andrew Porter's barging try from close range in the 29th minute, though, and the Lions regained the lead 14-12.

The Lions took a quick tap in the 35th after the Reds were penalised for a hand in the scrum and spread it wide quickly for Duhan van der Merwe to dive inside the corner post.

It was all the Lions after that.

The Reds led early and were still in it at halftime as the Lions held a 21-12 lead.

But the Lions' depth proved far too much for the home team in Brisbane as the tourists piled on 31 unanswered points in the second term.

British and Irish Lions 52 (Tommy Freeman 2, Andrew Porter, Duhan van der Merwe, Maro Itoje, Jac Morgan, Huw Jones, Garry Ringrose tries; Finn Russell 4 conversions, Fin Smith 2 conversions) Queensland Reds 12 (Jeffery Toomaga-Allen, Josh Flook tries; Harry McLaughlin-Phillips conversion). HT: 21-12

Wales captain Jac Morgan has been named man of the match.

The openside flanker put in a big shift tonight and bagged a well deserved try.

He's the only Welshman on tour after Tomos Williams' tour-ending injury.

Garry Ringrose, who is playing on the right wing, has an easy finish to score a try and complete another rout for the Lions.

The Lions win 52-12 against Australia's second best Super Rugby team.

That's a fair statement after beating the Force 54-7 last weekend - on the back of a historic loss to Argentina in Dublin before flying Down Under.

Michael Hooper says on Stan Sport that tonight was a better performance than Perth.

The Waratahs get the next crack in Sydney on Saturday.

Former England five-eighth Andy Goode has his say.

Whatever your persuasion, Lions coach Andy Farrell is spoilt for choice.

Meanwhile, Hunter Paisami has been one of the few Reds players to advance their Wallabies selection claims tonight.

His running game has been damaging.

The official crowd count is 46,435.

That's the biggest Reds crowd since the 2013 Lions tour.

The Lions lead 47-12 after 75 minutes.

There is concern for hurt Lions fullback Elliot Daly as he holds his arm following a collision with his opposite Jock Campbell.

"That didn't look good," Tim Horan says on Stan Sport.

Daly tried to solider on but is now replaced by Garry Ringrose.

Oh dear. Nothing is going right for the Reds now.

Tim Ryan tried a little chip and chase to spark his side but Huw Jones said thanks very much and raced more than half the field down the other end to score.

The Lions lead 47-12 after 66 minutes.

This match is following the same script as the Force game as Lions winger Tommy Freeman spins in the tackle to score his second try.

The Lions lead 42-12 after 61 minutes.

"That scoreboard got ugly quickly," Sean Maloney says on Stan Sport.
