'Discipline was right on the edge' - Man of Match Beirne
Man of the match Tadhg Beirne, speaking to Sky Sports: "It was a proper Test match, the last quarter was a battle. Australia will take confidence from that going into next week."Discipline was right on the edge. That will be a big focus for us."We managed the game well but need to focus on discipline more."I loved it, some of the games leading up weren't my best. But I hopefully did the shirt justice."
British and Irish Lions head coach Andy Farrell was full of praise for flankers Tom Curry and Tadgh selections were questioned before the game because of their form on tour."Tom Curry and Tadgh Beirne were absolutely immense. Curry put in some shots defensively and Tadgh got the turnover very early doors. It didn't stop there," Farrell said."Conan's carrying was very much on the front foot. Those three guys I'm sure they'll be delighted with how they responded to being selected."Curry and Beirne are a man of their word and that's what they delivered."
