The British and Irish Lions roared to a 69-17 victory against Western Force at Patersons Stadium but were left sweating on an ankle injury suffered by Ireland prop Cian Healy.
The Leinster forward was carried off and taken to hospital for an X-ray, although initial reports were that he had sprained his ankle rather than anything more serious.

Healy's departure was the only setback for a Lions side far quicker in thought and deed than their spirited, but outclassed, opponents.
The tourists ran in tries from captain Brian O'Driscoll (2), Jonathan Sexton, Tom Croft, Jamie Heaslip, Mako Vunipola, Tommy Bowe, Owen Farrell and Geoff Parling, while full-back Leigh Halfpenny produced a goalkicking masterclass.
