Lions Watch - Delon Armitage
Delon Amritage hands off Mathieu Bastareaud

The England full-back was at his scintillating best against France and proved what a devastating attacking force he can be.

The 25-year-old scythed over for England's third try and it was his sensational break down the left flank that set up Riki Flutey for his second after the interval.

Several other scorching runs made France quake every time he was in possession. Safe under the high ball and on this occasion little troubled in defence.

VERDICT: Could make it very tasty for the Lions full-back spot, but is likely to make the tour as a utility back.
