'A professional team performance': Andy Farrell pleased with Lions' Test prep

The Lions won comprehensively, 48-0, yet Farrell was satisfied his team had done all that was asked of them and could turn to face the Wallabies with confidence.

Andy Farrell praised a "professional team performance" as his British & Irish Lions swept aside an AUNZ Invitational XV in their final tour game before next Saturday’s first Test against Australia.

The Lions did not get the stiff challenge head coach Farrell may have hoped for from what looked a strong combined squad of Aussies and Kiwis with 17 capped internationals in its matchday 23, including eight All Blacks.
