Follow live text commentary & score updates as the British and Irish Lions take on ACT Brumbies at GIO Stadium, Canberra.
The British and Irish Lions beat ACT Brumbies 36-24, but it was another disjointed display from the tourists here in Canberra.
The Lions made the worst possible start when an early lapse in discipline allowed the Brumbies to build pressure from a driving lineout five metres out. They went through the phases with some powerful carries before prop Tuaina Taii Tualima touched down for the try.

The Lions slowly pulled clear with second-half tries from Garry Ringrose and Josh van der Flier, but the strongest line-up fielded by head coach Andy Farrell so far on tour were unconvincing with the series opener against Australia just 10 days away.
