British and Irish Lions coach Andy Farrell has suggested the New South Wales Waratahs may have deliberately over-watered the pitch at Sydney's Allianz Stadium ahead of Saturday’s match in which the tourists struggled to a 21-10 win.

The British and Irish Lions continue their winning run in Australia but make hard work of seeing off the Waratahs in Sydney.

The British and Irish Lions defeated the New South Wales Waratahs 21-10 to maintain a 100 per cent record on their summer tour of Australia. However, Andy Farrell’s side were made to work very hard indeed for victory after an error-strewn and scrappy display at Sydney’s Allianz Stadium that saw the newly-arrived Owen Farrell watch on and Henry Pollock withdrawn ahead of kick-off with a calf issue.
