Australia’s rugby clubs have been unable to tame the British and Irish Lions. But this tour means far more to Rugby Australia boss Phil Waugh than wins.
The Australia-New Zealand Invitational XV to face the British & Irish Lions in Adelaide this weekend features eight All Blacks and six Wallabies with winger AJ Lam the only uncapped player in the starting line-up.
The two teams for The British & Irish Lions' final warm-up game before their Test series have been named, and there are big names aplenty across the two 23s.
Darge, who has previously co-captained Scotland alongside Finn Russell, steps up after a season tinged with double frustration, with his club Glasgow failing to retain the United Rugby Championship title and Darge himself missing the chance to join Russell in the Lions squad heading to Australia.
The Lions were improved in attack as they ran in five tries and had three more over the line not given, but were plagued by more breakdown struggles and a high penalty count, plus further handling errors and an injury to Blair Kinghorn.
Andy Farrell has named the team that will play against Les Kiss’ AUNZ Invitational XV on Saturday evening at the Adelaide Oval.
Following the announcement of Andy Farrell’s British and Irish Lions team to face the AUNZ Invitational XV, we pick out our winners and losers.
