British and Irish Lions

Four tries and a solid kicking game did not hide the fact that France have room for improvement in some important areas if they want to keep their title hopes alive when they face high-flyers Ireland on March 8.

"The success is a big one," said Traille, who scored France's third try.

"But we are frustrated because we lost a lot of ball mainly due to the fact that we rushed things.

"We wanted to make the most of the spaces because we knew that the Scottish players usually get disorganised after a while.

"The positive thing is that we did not concede one single try," Traille added. "We worked hard on defence last week again and it paid off."

The Waratahs upset the odds by beating Super Rugby leaders the Brumbies 28-22, but the game came at a huge cost to Qantas Wallabies coach Robbie Deans.

Lions skipper Sam Warburton says the lessons he and his Welsh colleagues learnt in Australia last summer will stand them in good stead for their return visit with Britain and Ireland's elite next month.

Tom Youngs has enjoyed a remarkable rise to the top of the British & Irish game but he won't be resting on his laurels ahead of his first Lions adventure.
