The British and Irish Lions' most recent match against the Brumbies is squarely in focus as the two teams get set to square off in Canberra tonight

The British and Irish Lions' most recent match against the Brumbies is squarely in focus as the two teams get set to square off in Canberra tonight

9 July 2025

The last two games between the teams have both been decided by just two points - the home side famously prevailing 14-12 in the Australian capital in 2013.

Coach Andy Farrell admits there's plenty of tension.

Tonight's match - which kicks off at 10 - is the penultimate fixture for the Lions before the first test against the Wallabies in Brisbane next weekend.
