Overview

• The Lions held off the Waratahs 21-10 at Allianz Stadium to extend their unbeaten tour record to three wins.
• Scotland centre Huw Jones scored two tries and scrum-half Alex Mitchell added a decisive 55th-minute score.
• Numerous handling errors and turnovers disrupted the Lions’ fluency and raised fresh concerns for coach Andy Farrell.
• Henry Pollock’s pre-match calf issue and the rest given to Finn Russell and Maro Itoje led to reshuffled roles, with Owen Farrell flying in as cover.
• Both squads now turn their focus to a Canberra clash with the Brumbies as they finalise strategies for the first Test on July 19.
