The AUNZ Invitational vs Lions live stream provides a chance for the touring side to make it five straight wins on Australian soil and lay down one final marker ahead of the first Test against the Wallabies next week in Brisbane.
The Lions may have outscored the ACT Brumbies five tries to four in Canberra last time out but it was a far from convincing performance from Andy Farrell’s side. The tourists lacked cohesion, conceded 11 penalties and were reliant on moments of individual brilliance to secure the victory. They’ll certainly be seeking a faster start in Adelaide, while several players will be fighting to keep their place in the starting XV for the first Test against Australia.
Ollie Chessum, James Lowe and Marcus Smith were excellent against the Brumbies and will be pushing for another opportunity to impress, while Owen Farrell may well be handed minutes as he looks to get to full fitness. It is also likely that centers Bundee Akie, Garry Ringrose, Sione Tuipulotu and Huw Jones will appear at some stage as the Lions attempt to find their perfect midfield combination.
The Lions will certainly expect a stern test as the AUNZ Invitational squad features an impressive 18 internationally capped players, 10 from Australian and eight from New Zealand. This includes the likes of Folau Fakatava, Aidan Ross, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto and Angus Blyth,
