FT: Australia 19-27 Lions
British and Irish Lions
British and Irish Lions head coach Andy Farrell, speaking to Sky Sports: “Obviously we are delighted to get the result, to get the first under the belt.
“I thought we did the shirt proud, how we attacked the game especially in the first half was very pleasing.
“I thought we started very well, our game control was excellent throughout and the back row were immense throughout.
“We stood up, our physicality was spot in the first half, but in the second we were a bit loose. Plenty to work on for game two.
“The good thing is we roll on to Tuesday night and the rest of the guys get to put their hands up. It is a big occasion for us.
“We will be dealing with a wounded animal second up, MCG sold out, it doesn’t get any better and we expect ourselves to be better again.”
