British and Irish Lions coach Andy Farrell has suggested the New South Wales Waratahs may have deliberately over-watered the pitch at Allianz Stadium ahead of the match in which the tourists struggled to a 21-10 win.

Andy Farrell hinted that the Allianz Stadium pitch may have been deliberately watered to give the New South Wales Waratahs an advantage, as his British and Irish Lions laboured to a scrappy 21-10 win.

Mike Catt, the Waratahs attack coach, appears to have had some fun in winding up his former Irish boss Andy Farrell about the state of the pitch at the Allianz Stadium for the Lions ’ error-afflicted 21-10 win over the Waratahs.
