Adam Jones expects tough tour

Jones expects tough tour

British and Irish Lions prop Adam Jones has warned his teammates to expect a tough test when they land in Australia on Monday.

The Lions recorded a 59-8 success over the Barbarians on Saturday, but Jones believes that the standard will rise when they touch down on Australian soil.

"The Australian sides will be more organised and more structured, it is a massive sports country," Jones told Press Association Sport.

"I expect Western Force to be strong. It's a massive thing to play the Lions, a huge deal for them. They won't shy away from the challenge, which is what you would expect."

The Lions face Western Force on Wednesday.
