British and Irish Lions captain Sam Warburton praises the team following their 22-12 victory over the Queensland Reds on Saturday.

British and Irish Lions captain Sam Warburton has insisted that the team were made to work for their 22-12 victory over the Queensland Reds on Saturday.

The win made it three on the bounce for the Lions since the beginning of June, with Warburton praising the "composure" of his side.

"It was great to get the win. It was a tough one. They came flying out of the blocks, but we managed to maintain our composure," he told Sky Sports News.

"We knew the Reds in attack would offer a lot today and they made it really tough for us. It was a physical game tonight, there were a few bodies down, it was a tough game."

The first Test against Australia will take place on June 22.
