Lions beat Brumbies 24–36 in final warm-up before Wallabies test

The British & Irish Lions claimed a 24–36 victory over the ACT Brumbies in Canberra, wrapping up their final warm-up match before the first Test against the Wallabies.

Despite a strong early showing from the Brumbies, including a fourth-minute try and a spirited fightback, the Lions’ class—led by Finn Russell, Jamison Gibson-Park, and Marcus Smith—proved decisive.

Key moments included late first-half and early second-half tries that built a commanding lead, with Garry Ringrose and Josh van der Flier sealing the win. The Lions’ only concern was a potential injury to fullback Blair Kinghorn, who exited in the 25th minute.
