Dave O'Lion: Either set of centres (Irish or Scottish) will do a job for the Lions, but I wonder if Finn Russell should get a say. Yes he's good enough to play with either pairing but he knows the Scotland pair much better, in a Test match where fine margins make the difference that familiarity could be the marginal gain we need.

That could also help Sione Tuipulotu, who is used to playing inside Huw Jones at Scotland and Glasgow Warriors.

Does Andy Farrell go for a Scotland 10, 12, 13? Cohesion and all that.

Big breaking news courtesy of our Irish colleagues. Garry Ringrose is a major doubt for the first Test next weekend in Brisbane. The Irish centre is believed to have suffered a head injury towards the end of the Brumbies game on Wednesday.

Huw Jones, who has had a storming first half in Adelaide, would replace him if Ringrose doesn't make it

Good start by the Lions but on the whole a scrappy affair against a AUNZ side that maybe not surprisingly lacks cohesion and much of a threat going forward.

So is the dial being moved in terms of the Test selection?

Hugo Keenan has had a solid first half, much better than last week against the Waratahs.

By default he probably earns the start at full-back against the Wallabies due to Blair Kinghorn’s strained knee and Eliot Daly’s tour being shortened.

In the backs Huw Jones continues to impress, Duhan Van der Merwe has a couple of tries and Mack Hansen has played well.

Enough to dislodge Gary Ringrose, James Lowe or Tommy Freeman from the Test side? I’m not sure it is.

The competition in the back row is still the most intriguing.

Jac Morgan and Ben Earl have had good forty minutes. Where does Henry Pollock fit in? 6, 7 or 8?

Did Tom Curry, Jack Conan and Ollie Chessum do enough against the Brumbies in midweek?

Is Josh Van der Flier the most consistent of all the back rowers?

With forty minutes remaining before the first Test there is still one wild card to play - Owen Farrell is standing by for his cameo? Or is it more serious than that?

Andy Farrell, most likely, already knows all the answers to these questions…thankfully we'll find out in a few days.

When and how Owen Farrell is deployed after half-time will be fascinating.

Despite his experience and pedigree, Farrell comes on this tour with no form or match-fitness.

But he is used to being under the spotlight. At the 2023 World Cup there was plenty of scrutiny on his place given George Ford's excellence at the start of the tournament when Farrell was suspended.

However Farrell came back to lead England to victory against Fiji and then produce an outstanding individual display in the semi-final against South Africa. Yes, it was a few years ago. And yes, we have no real idea what shape he - or his game - is in.

But he can never be underestimated.

Superb defence from Fin Smith and that is half-time.

Shannon Frizell was storming down the wing and Smith got his hand in to prevent an offload.

The Lions have been brilliant in defence.

The defence has been really good from the Lions but the opposition aren't firing a shot, that's what you can get with an invitational team.

The Lions look really comfortable, the most comfortable I've seen them.

AUNZ Invitational just haven't been able to get their attack going, which has so many lethal backs.

Hugo Keenan bangs the ball long.

Ronan Kelleher is on for Luke Cowan-Dickie. It was a nasty head knock which could rule Cowan-Dickie out of the first Test.

A knee to the head is never nice! He is heading off on a stretcher.

Not the time for injuries.

Ben White makes another tidy clearance. He's been effective so far and has responded to Alex Mitchell's recent performances.

The camera pans to a serious-looking Andy Farrell. No smiles in the coaching box.

A poor pass from Fin Smith and the ball goes down. He hasn't quite got going in this one. Will we see Owen Farrell at fly-half at some stage?

Strong carries from Ben Earl and Hugo Keenan. Next to make a dent is Huw Jones, who breaks clear on an outside arc.

The ball goes wide but Mack Hansen can't link with Luke Cowan-Dickie for what would have been a cracking try.

Just further to Ashy's point on the wingers.

James Lowe seems - or seemed - to have the Test no.11 jersey sewn up.

But he was a bit scruffy in Canberra on Wednesday, while Van der Merwe has bagged twice in the opening quarter here.

Would a Van der Merwe stormer change anything? Probably not, given Lowe's solid all-round game and Van der Merwe's defensive looseness.

But as an out-and-out try-scorer, there are few better in the northern hemisphere than the Scotland winger.

Duhan van der Merwe has been the benefactor of some really smart Lions rugby. This has been their best start on tour so far, Mack Hansen is also looking impressive.

Tadhg Beirne nicks the ball on the ground but then kicks it straight out. Really silly after a signature Beirne moment.

AUNZ Invitational knock the ball on before Huw Jones does exceptionally well to steal it. Great defence.
