Three decades since they came into existence, the ACT Brumbies lay claim to being Australia’s most successful Super Rugby franchise and will hope for more success against The British & Irish Lions.

The British & Irish Lions overcame a stubborn Brumbies outfit to claim a 36-24 victory in Canberra. This was far from perfect by the tourists who were not at their very best but they were never truly in danger of falling short in the Australian capital.

ACT Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham hopes captain Ryan Lonergan’s strong showing against the British & Irish Lions is proof the scrumhalf is ready for a golden jersey. Lonergan has been on the verge of a Test debut for the Wallabies for several years, included in camps by several different coaches.

British and Irish Lions coach Andy Farrell has named a strong squad for Wednesday's game against the Brumbies with Maro Itoje returning as captain.

The Lonergan brothers will look to help the ACT Brumbies pull off another improbable win over the British & Irish Lions on Wednesday, 12 years after cheering from the terraces as the Super Rugby team stunned the touring side in Canberra.

After the newly introduced Van der Flier was adjudged not to have grounded the ball off a catch-and-drive the Lions curiously opted to extend a nine-point lead with a Russell penalty (their first shot at goal in four outings on Aussie soil) before their lineout maul powered over for the Irish flanker to be awarded the try.
