The British and Irish Lions continue their tour Down Under this weekend as they take on an Australia and New Zealand XV, live on talkSPORT.
Since a poor opening defeat to Argentina, Andy Farrell‘s men have dismissed their other opponents.
The Lions are flying now and building some momentum ahead of the TestsGettyThey weren’t at their best last time out but managed to beat the Brumbles 36-24, and given this is the last warm-up match before the Tests, places are up for grabs.
The level of opposition keeps going up and up as well, and this will be the hardest test so far.
A selection of Australian and New Zealand players are set to join forces in an effort to stop the Lions.

Fly-half Farrell has been called up to replace injured full-back DalyGettyLions vs AUNZ XV: What has been said?
With the Tests against Australia fast approaching, Farrell can’t wait to get to the Tests.
He said: “It’s great to get another win. I thought overall we dominated the game. I think if you fast-forward through the game, you will see that. On the back of that, we scored some lovely balanced tries.
“Our game control was pretty good, which allowed us to keep the pressure at the right end of the field, so that’s a nice step forward. I thought our kicking game, especially Jamison Gibson-Park, was on the money.
“It will be great to get to Test week, where we have got a full run at it, but they are bonding unbelievably well.”
