Lions vs Australia LIVE!The British and Irish Lions meet the Wallabies in the First Test in Brisbane today. It’s been a long few weeks Down Under for Andy Farrell’s side, who have been waiting for the series proper to begin after a run of fairly mundane warm-up fixtures that saw four consecutive wins over Super Rugby opposition in which they largely struggled to hit top gear before an AUNZ Invitational XV were thrashed in Adelaide last weekend.

Australia are banking on heavyweight reinforcements Rob Valetini and Will Skelton to help them avoid losing the series to the British & Irish Lions next weekend after they were outclassed in the first test on Saturday.

As the Lions outclass the Wallabies in the first Test, Ronan OGara warns heavier defeat could be inflicted if improvements are made; watch Australia vs The Lions in the second Test next Saturday from 9.
