Prolific Lions goalkicker Leigh Halfpenny likely to punish Wallabies Check out the top five moments from Western Force's match against the British and Irish Lions. Lions skipper Brian O'Driscoll breaks clear to score his second try during the touring side's big win over Western Force in Perth. Lions goalkicker Leigh Halfpenny put on a flawless display with the boot against Western Force in Perth. AN ominously faultless goalkicking display from fullback Leigh Halfpenny capped an efficient if less than inspiring display by the British and Irish Lions against a gallant but outgunned Western Force at Perth's Patersons Stadium last night. "Relatively pleasing" was how acting captain Brian O'Driscoll described the 69-17 win, although the visitors would not have been pleased to lose Irish loosehead prop Cian Healy with what appeared to be a serious ankle injury. The initial fear was that his tour might be over before it has started but there is still hope he might be able to soldier on after Lions coach Warren Gatland reported that X-rays had revealed no break but that Healy almost certainly suffered ligament damage. With all his problems, Healy at least will not have to worry about a possible biting citing after Force halfback Brett Sheehan, who initially alleged he had been bitten by the Irishman in a ruck, later dismissed the incident. "I can't be certain if it was accidental or on purpose, so we move on," Sheehan said. However, there is also concern in the Lions camp that halfback Conor Murray could be cited for trampling Force centre Ed Stubbs but it was unclear last night how that would alleged incident would play out. The match was played against the tense backdrop of former Lions coach Clive Woodward's claim yesterday that the Force had shown contempt for the tourists by not fielding their strongest available team. Gatland initially was happy to ignore his predecessor's outburst but then appeared to fire a shot of his own across the ARU's bow. "I think there is something unique and special about a Lion tours and you've got to embrace it," said Gatland. And the amount of money it's going to generate for Australian rugby, they've got to take it seriously. Force coach Michael Foley, however, countered by accusing Woodward of hypocrisy after be brought a woefully understrength England team to Australia to be annihilated 76-0 by the Wallabies 15 years ago today. So bitter was the ARU about the pathetic standard of Woodward's team that the then ARU chairman Dick McGruther labelled the exercise as "the biggest English sellout since Gallopili." Although the Lions' lineout looked ragged and their scrum exerted little dominance, the tourists looked well-organised and ruthless as they scored nine tries to two, but it was the radar-guided goalkicking of Halfpenny, who landed 11 from 11, several of them from the touchline, that would have most alarmed Robbie Deans and the Wallabies. If his unerring form holds - and he simply is carrying on from where he left off in the Six Nations - the Wallabies' every mistake will be punished in the upcoming three-Test series. The Lions will head to Brisbane and a fascinating match with an undermanned but still powerful Reds outfit at Suncorp Saturday on Saturday night delighted with the form of their backrowers, Irish pair Sean O'Brien and Jamie Heaslip most especially, while flyhalf Jonny Sexton kept building his case to wear the 10 jersey in the first Test on June 22. Force captain Matt Hodgson deservedly was proud of his young team. I don't think the points difference reflected the effort we put in but the Lions are definitely a quality side. But I think Australia will do well against them. It was a hesitant Force in the opening exchanges. Even the most capped Test player in the Perth outfit, number eight Richard Brown, appeared stage struck, scarcely reacting as Sexton bedazzled him with an elaborate dummy as he strolled through in the 10th minute to score the first try of the 2013 tour of Australia. Bit by bit, however, the Force hesitantly worked its way into the game. Their first scrum was rock-solid, which might actually have caught Brown by surprise because he flubbed the easy clearance, and though their tackling was erratic at best (they missed 21 in the first half alone) tighthead prop Salesi Ma'afu confounded Lions fans when, one-on-one, he denied a runaway Manu Tuilaga a try. Such confidence-building moments raised hopes that this rag-tag outfit might actually cause the Lions some anxious moments and that happened in the 21st minute when a lineout overthrow by Rory Best landed straight in the arms of Hodgson, who instantly hoofed the ball downfield. Jet-shoed winger Corey Brown hared after it, was favoured by the bounce and looked to be try-bound until Halfpenny somehow reeled him in. But the Lions momentarily looked rattled and twice conceded penalties, with Hodgson backing his players by ordering kicks into the corner. But from the second of them, young hooker James Hilterbrand missed his mark, gifted the ball to Lions winger George North and that was as close as the Force would come to a first-half try. Not so the Lions. They would cross for another two in the opening stanza, O'Driscoll punishing a wayward touchfinder from Force centre Chris Tuatara-Morrison to score in the corner and then, with the halftime siren gone, blindside flanker Tom Croft being on the end of a queue of selfless forwards all of whom could have meandered over themselves but generously allowed the England backrower to score. Ominously for the Force, that was to set the tone for what was to follow in the second half as the locals inevitably wilted in the face of the Lions' possession. The locals did have their moments of glory when Brown and reserve backrower Locky McCaffrey smashed their way over from close quarters to trigger delirium in the 35,103 crowd. Mostly, however, it was one-way traffic. Heaslip started the procession with another unchallenged try on the end of a spiralling 25m pass from Sexton just three minutes into the half, and reserve prop Mako Vunipola chipped in with another from close range, but the floodgates really opened after Force centre Ed Stubbs was sin-binned for a professional foul right on his own line. Winger Tommy Bowe, O'Driscoll and reserve playmaker Owen Farrell - with his first touch of the match - all crossed during the 10 minutes Stubbs was in the bin, with England lock Geoff Parling also scoring soon after entering the fray, putting a cap on proceedings with a try in the 76th minute. The Wallabies have lost some much-needed aggression before the Lions series with combative backrower Scott Higginbotham to undergo shoulder surgery. The Melbourne Rebels captain had been in career-best form before dislocating his shoulder in the Super Rugby match with the Queensland Reds last Saturday. Lions 69 (Brian O'Driscoll 2, Tommy Bowe, Tom Croft, Owen Farrell, Jamie Heaslip, Geoff Parling, Jonathan Sexton, Mako Vunipola tries Leigh Halfpenny 9 cons 2 pens) Western Force 17 (Richard Brown, Locky McCaffrey tries Brett Sheehan 2 cons, pen) at Patersons Stadium.
