British & Irish Lions news: Lions pass their hardest test so far against the Brumbies

This week saw the match-ups between Andy Farrell’s British and Irish Lions and the Australian franchises come to an end after a 36-24 triumph over the ACT Brumbies on July 9.

The Lions finished with a perfect record in these warm-up games.

The Lions now go on to face the Australian–New Zealand Invitational squad – which, despite being filled with some Southern Hemisphere stars, should be a much more disjointed squad, similar to a Barbarians-esque set-up.

So, with the Brumbies being the best Australian team in Super Rugby Pacific, what did Farrell and his coaches learn from this game, and the games against all of the other Australian franchises?

Here, Sports News Blitz rugby writer Jacob Garrett discusses the road ahead for Farrell and the Lions.
