Warburton pleased with Lions display

British and Irish Lions captain Sam Warburton has hailed his side's performance following their 47-17 victory over the New South Wales Waratahs.

The visitors scored five tries in Sydney on Saturday to maintain their winning start on tour.

"The Waratahs were really tough and I don't think the score reflected the way they played, but we definitely stepped up and I knew we had to," Warburton told Sky Sports News. "I thought the forwards did a great job and the backs were very clinical so I'm very pleased with the performance."

The Lions continue their campaign on Tuesday when they face the Brumbies in Canberra.
