Tries from Jonny Sexton and Leigh Halfpenny, either side of a score from Waratahs centre Tom Carter, gave the Lions a 23-10 half-time lead. The Lions appeared disorientated after fly-half Jonny Sexton had been smashed late by giant NSW lock Will Skelton. NSW Waratahs: Drew Mitchell; Cam Crawford, Rob Horne, Tom Carter, Peter Betham; Brendan Foley, Brendan McKibbin; Jeremy Tilse, John Ulugia, Paddy Ryan; Will Skelton, Ollie Atkins; Jed Holloway, Pat McCutcheon, Dave Dennis (capt). If croft is playing so will Faletau. Mitchell failed to find touch with his clearing kick, allowing the Lions to counter. Zebo released Davies, who sized up the situation, and a quick acceleration and inside pass to Sexton put the fly-half in. There were also power-packed contributions from locks Alun Wyn Jones and Paul O'Connell, the entire front row and Croft, while captain Sam Warburton also did enough to secure his spot.

The Waratahs took a quick line-out and a hacked cross-kick from Bernard Foley saw Peter Betham evade Sean Maitland's weak tackle to put Carter over. But with Manu Tuilagi's availability for the opening Test in Brisbane uncertain, the Lions may instead turn to Roberts' fellow Welshman Davies, who enjoyed an outstanding game.
