A spirited Brumbies performance despite missing eight of their usual starters.
By the standards the Lions will want to set themselves they'll be disappointed to concede 24 points.
A similar tale of handling errors and breakdown penalties for the visitors.
The home crowd seem pretty happy with their four tries!

Ollie Chessum playing a full 80 minutes shows his importance to the team. An absolute machine who is capable of covering second row and back row as well as being a very capable line-out operator. Such a high work rate too.

Tom Hooper is sent to the sin-bin. He knocks the ball on when trying to wrap his arms in a tackle.

Maro Itoje spills the ball.
A rare error from the captain. Is that the last chance to score gone?
Brumbies 24-36 Lions
Another penalty is awarded to the Lions. They will want one more try.
Liam Bowron
Patience pays off as Liam Bowron powers over.

The Lions' defence is so physical with the Brumbies unable to make inroads.

Chris Ashton
Former England wing
Mack Hansen has come on and straight away moved off his wing to create a break for Henry Pollock.
Left wing is still open in the Test side, for me, with Tommy Freeman on the right.
And if Blair Kinghorn is injured, full-back is an issue, with Hugo Keenan hardly playing this tour. Keenan is a very good option, but no-one has yet nailed it down.
Brumbies 17-36 Lions
Marcus Smith nearly delivers a 50-22. He has been class since coming on early for Blair Kinghorn.
Brumbies 17-36 Lions
Ryan Lonergan's kick goes dead. That sums up the second half for the hosts.
Josh van der Flier (con Finn Russell)
The Lions maul deserved a try with Josh van der Flier this time getting over.

People forget that Jones has also played full-back during his career. How about Aki-Ringrose to start, Jones to cover full-back and Sione the "hitter" on the bench? That way, if no injuries, you could replace both centres with an equally world-class pairing.

Henry Pollock goes flying forwards the tryline, fending off players for fun. He is taken down just short.
Talk about impact!
