4 Minutes to go in the match
Lions will send their Dirt-trackers to play the Brumbies on Tuesday, so we’ll have a good idea of the Lions Test side then.
Question is what type of side the Brumbies will put out, because if they play their strongest side, they might prevent the Lions from going unbeaten through the whole tour.
Less than a minute left here
Time is up
Final Score: British & Irish Lions 47 / 17 Waratahs
OK, now we more over to rugby in SA, the double-header Tests at Mbombela Stadium, Nelspruit.
First up Samoa vs Italy, in about 50 minutes.
