Rory Best: 'We were second best'

British and Irish Lions hooker Rory Best has admitted that the team were "physically beaten up front" in their 14-12 loss to the Brumbies on Tuesday.

The Lions, who were forced to name a much-changed side, play their first Test against Australia on Saturday.

"We got physically beaten up front. They put a lot of pressure on our set piece and we got a bit nervy," Best told Sky Sports News.

"Credit to the Brumbies, they were hungrier than us right across the board."

The Lions had won each of their previous warm-up matches.
