LIONS – That George North lift!

It was a disappointing result for the British and Irish Lions when they slipped to an agonising 16-15 defeat in the second test against Australia – but there was only one major talking point after the game – THAT epic lift from George North!!!

An extraordinary moment of play between Australia and The Lions when winger George North effortlessly picked up attempted tackler Israel Folau and carried him forwards on his shoulders like a lumberjack.

Unfortunately the move ended when Folau managed to pull North down directly onto his head – and North was momentarily grounded.
