New Zealand 11 Lions 0 - latest

New Zealand have powered into a commanding lead against the British and Irish Lions at Christchurch today.

The Lions lost captain Brian O'Driscoll inside a minute. O'Driscoll went down as he attempted a tackle and, in a depressing scenario, he was carried from the field to be replaced by England's Will Greenwood.

It was a horror moment for the Lions, with O'Driscoll clutching his shoulder before leaving the field - and seemingly out of the tour inside three minutes of the first Test.

Daniel Carter scored two early penalties for the All Blacks to show their intent and since then a fine counter-attack led to a try for Ali Williams.

The Lions have also lost Richard Hill, who has been replaced by Ryan Jones.
