The British and Irish Lions pulled through their toughest test so far as they overcame a committed Sharks side to win 71-31.

The Sharks, who lost 54-7 to the Lions three days earlier, were level 26-26 at the break with three of their tries coming from mistakes by the Lions.

But scrum-half Jaden Hendrikse's 46th-minute red card for a cheap-shot elbow to Liam Williams' head swung the game.

The Lions piled on the points with wing Anthony Watson scoring two of 11 tries.
