Richard Hibbard disappointed by British and Irish Lions errors

Hibbard disappointed by Lions errors

British and Irish Lions hooker Richard Hibbard feels that head coach Warren Gatland would have the right to be disappointed by his side's display against Combined Country.

In a match where the tourists were the overwhelming favourites, the Lions ran in 10 tries on their way to securing a 64-0 win in Newcastle on Tuesday.

However, the travellers were guilty of committing a number of errors in the second half, particularly of the handling variety, which the Scot admits was frustrating.

"Obviously [Gatland] is going to be a little disappointed with the second-half performance," Hibbard told Sky Sports News.

"So he should be. There is so much more to come from us.

"You never like to let a few tries slip, and there were concentration lapses, but we know there is a hell of a lot more to come from us."

Next up for the Lions is a match against the Waratahs on Saturday.
