Agreed the Lions will need to be better to stand a chance against the Super Rugby teams and the All Blacks however I wouldn't read too much into an exhibition match to kick off the tour.
Speaking of the Kiwi Super Rugby teams they are now 23-0 against Australian teams this year after the Blues, Chiefs, and Hurricanes wins over the Reds, Waratahs and Force. My Reds were the closest to ending the streak leading the Blues in Samoa in the 74th minute.
