It was always likely Garry Ringrose and Bundee Aki would form the Lions midfield for this match since their direct rivals, Huw Jones and Sione Tuipulotu, both started against the Waratahs on Saturday. The Ireland centres now look like they are in the box-seat for the first Test.

The British and Irish Lions will play ACT Brumbies in Canberra on Wednesday 9 July at 11am (UK). The match will be shown live on Sky Sports TV, who have the rights for the entire tour including all three tests, and fans can sign up here to watch a live stream of the game.
