Keith Earls
Showed laudable desire to attack from full back but failed to find the support his efforts deserved 6

Ugo Monye
Another strong showing. Scored the try that gave the Lions confidence and taken off for his own health and safety 6

Riki Flutey
Kept looking for space that seldom materialised against the heavy-tackling Kings midfield 5

Gordon D'Arcy
Needed early treatment for a late tackle and left the field thoroughly disenchanted about his opposite number 5

Luke Fitzgerald
Huge enthusiasm to find a way into a game that was never going to achieve any continuity 5

James Hook
Only survived 13 minutes before being taken off as a precaution 5

Mike Blair
Uncertain handling undermined his first-half game but he stuck with it as the Lions dug their way out of trouble 5

Andrew Sheridan
Part of a heavy-duty pack that was far too strong for the Kings and ultimately earned victory 6

Ross Ford
Best game of the tour though the lineout took time to settle against the raids of Marco Wentzel 6

Euan Murray
Sprained his ankle and left the field early

Simon Shaw
Just the sort of game for the down-to-earth Wasp, who used all his experience to keep the Lions focused on winning 6

Donncha O'Callaghan
Delighted to be given the captaincy and led from the front, even when the Lions were hamstrung by their own errors 6

Nathan Hines
Asked to cope with the unfamiliar position of blind-side flanker and made a decent fist of it 5

Joe Worsley
A game of fits and starts, heavy tackles and good lineout play but let down by the odd poor pass 5

Andy Powell
Grew in stature as the game wore on, lost a couple of balls on the ground but then grabbed a couple back 6

Replacements

Ronan O'Gara
Could not have done more for his side, with his kicking at goal, tactically and his defence 7

Adam Jones
Also called early to action and instantly put his opposite number under more pressure than he could handle 6

Matthew Rees and Shane Williams also played in the final quarter
