British and Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland has praised his squad for an impressive performance against the Waratahs.
The Lions secured a 47-17 victory in Sydney today, with Alun Wyn Jones receiving individual praise from his boss.
"They put it up to us physically and I think the boys responded very well," The Metro quotes Gatland as saying. "I think that was a performance out of the top drawer.
"Defensively we were strong, we were coming off our line pretty well and set pieces were excellent. The scum and line-out was also good. I think Alun Wyn Jones was outstanding though. He carried and defended really well – he was a real cog in the middle for us."
The Lions' first Test against Australia is on June 22.
