The great news for rugby fans down is that all three of the British & Irish Lions test matches are being broadcast for free across terrestrial channels Channel 9 and 9Gem. That means you'll be able to watch the games online for free on the network's streaming service 9Now.

The Lions’ scrum has been strong all tour but the unit of Ellis Genge, Dan Sheehan and Tadhg Furlong has been particularly good. Genge gives you carrying power, Sheehan the athleticism of a centre. Maro Itoje, the captain, was always a certainty along with Jack Conan at No8, despite Earl’s best efforts.

The Lions are 1-0 up going into the second Test of their series Down Under after a impressive victory in the opening Test. Although the tourists fell off the pace in the second half, their performance in the opening 40 minutes – plus an early try in the second half – means they always had a comfortable cushion.

Sione Tuipulotu has no axe to grind over his Wallabies snub but is aiming to show them what they are missing again this weekend. The Scotland centre, a try-scorer in the Lions 27-19 win over the Wallabies in Brisbane on Saturday, was raised in Melbourne and played at the Rebels before moving north four years ago.

British and Irish Lions head coach Andy Farrell isn't buying into predictions of a 3-0 series sweep over Australia.

The first Test between the British and Irish Lions and Australia is due to kick off at 11am BST on Saturday 19 July at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Action. A live stream will be available via Sky Go and NOW.

The scoreline in Brisbane read as an eight-point victory to the Lions but, make no mistake, this was a battering. The match might have felt a bit odd and – in the second half especially – a bit flat but at no point did I think that the Lions would lose that match.

Harry Wilson is set to lead the Wallabies in Saturday’s test against the British and Irish Lions, something almost inconceivable when he was left out of Australia's Rugby World Cup squad two years ago.
