The Lions lead the New South Wales Waratahs 23-10 at half time at the Allianz Arena.

Tries from Jonny Sexton and Leigh Halfpenny, along with three penalties from Halfpenny, were countered with a try from 18 year old Tom Carter.

Simon Zebo had a try ruled out by the video referee, having crossed the line after just 40 seconds and with his first touch in a Lion jersey.
