How to watch British and Irish Lions vs ACT Brumbies: TV channel and live stream for rugby today

Still to convince: British and irish Lions - (Getty Images)

The British and Irish Lions’ tour of Australia continues as they take on the Brumbies at the GIO Stadium, Canberra.

Andy Farrell’s side have failed to convince since their arrival Down Under, but they remain unbeaten as they continue their campaign in the capital.

Captain Maro Itoje is slated to return to the XV, while Scotland full-back Blair Kinghorn makes his first start for the Lions.

The Lions defeated the Waratahs 21-10 in their last outing in Sydney, and Farrell shakes up his pack once more for this encounter.

His son Owen is a late arrival to the camp after Elliot Daly suffered a broken arm against the Queensland Reds, but this game will come too early for the England fly-half, who made a spectacular return not just to the international fold, but to Premiership rugby as he completed a move back to former club Saracens from Racing 92.

This is the Lions’ penultimate warm-up match before their first Test against Australia on Saturday, July 19 in Brisbane.

Before that, they will play an XV comprised of Wallabies and All Blacks on Saturday, July 12.
