The British and Irish Lions made one late change among their replacements today for the game against the New South Wales Waratahs in Sydney on Saturday.

England fullback Matt Perry replaced wing Ben Cohen on the bench.

Lions manager Donal Lenihan said Perry had been drafted in to give the Lions more options.

The Australian Rugby Union announced that Saturday's match at the Sydney Football Stadium was a sell-out with the last remaining 400 tickets sold on Friday morning and a crowd of 40,000 expected.
