Lions hang on to keep winning streak in Australia alive

The British and Irish Lions beat the First Nations and Pasifika XV 24 -19 in a scrappy match at the Marvel Stadium

Chris Jones and former Lions and Wales wing Alex Cuthbert give their on the whistle reaction as the Lions faced a test against the First Nations and Pasifika XV in Melbourne. It was a tight match but the Lions had the edge in the end – in what was an exciting 80 minutes at Marvel Stadium.

Alex and Chris dissect what went right on the pitch – especially the first ten minutes for the visitors - and where improvements could be made with some set pieces not ‘clinical’ enough on the night. Captain Owen Farrell gets a shout-out as does Darcy Graham who made his debut, scored a try then went off the injured - and the guys get the latest on Marcus Smith’s HIA.

Alex also receives some gifts from some fans at the ground and tells Chris what it’s really like playing golf with some actual wallabies!
