AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY, AUSTRALIA, JUL 9 – Andy Farrell fields a near-Test side in Canberra as the Lions aim to maintain unbeaten run with 36-24 win over Brumbies, finalizing selection before July 19 series opener.
- The British and Irish Lions played the ACT Brumbies at Gio Stadium in Canberra on July 9, 2025, in their penultimate game before the Test series.
- This match follows the Lions' victory over the New South Wales Waratahs and precedes the Test opener against the Wallabies scheduled for July 19, 2025.
- Andy Farrell named a strong Lions side led by captain Maro Itoje, with many experts predicting the starting XV will form the Test team.
- By halftime, the Lions led partly due to tries from Ollie Chessum and James Lowe despite Blair Kinghorn's injury and the Brumbies' early score from Tuaina Taii Tualima.
- The game served as a key trial ahead of the Test series, with Farrell challenging players to secure their places and the Brumbies, Australia’s top Super Rugby side, aiming to capitalize despite missing key players.
