British and Irish Lions wing George North has apologised and says he feels "horrendous" for a gesture he made while scoring a try against Australia.
The 21-year-old pointed at the Wallabies' Will Genia just before scoring in the 23-21 victory in the first of the three-Test series.
North was criticised for the signal and admits he regrets his actions.
"I got caught up in the emotion of the try. Looking back, I feel horrendous for doing it now," he said.

But the Northampton Saints playerrevealed he had spoken to tour manager Andy Irvine about the incident.North marked his Lions debut in the Brisbane win with a brilliant individual try, beating three players during a 60-metre run.
"Rugby's a gentleman's game and that shouldn't be involved in the game," he said. "Andy said that to me and I knew it as soon as I'd done it.
"It's very difficult to explain your emotions when you've scored a try.
"I know it was out of line with sportsmanship and rugby and feel terrible for that.
"I've had a lot of stick from the boys for doing that and am pretty sure it will go on for a while longer."
Fly-half Jonathan Sexton says Ireland and Lions veteran Brian O'Driscoll has told the Lions to seize the chance to seal a series win.
Victory in Melbourne on Saturday will clinch a first series victory for the Lions since beating South Africa in 1997.
"We've spoken about this being a once in a lifetime opportunity and we have a chance to do it," said Sexton.
"Brian put it into perspective when he said that 12 years ago the chance slipped him by. He thought 'I'm only 21 and I'll get many more opportunities'.
"Twelve years later this is his next opportunity. It's not something that comes along too often and is something that all the lads really want to grasp while they can."
