The British and Irish Lions will take on Australia in the first Test of their tour Down Under this weekend, live on talkSPORT.
Andy Farrell‘s side head into their opener against the Wallabies in perfect form, beating an AUNZ Invitational team 48-0 last time out.
That victory made it five in five since travelling to the other side of the world and now it’s time to begin the big battles.
This will be the Lions‘ first meeting with Australia, with a total of three Tests planned over a two-week period.
A win in the opening match, which is the two teams’ first clash since 2013, would provide a big boost for the rest of the tour.
