The talk, the training, and the tuning up is over. The British & Irish Lions meet Australia at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on Saturday for the first match of their three-Test series.
‘The Cauldron’, known for its raucous atmosphere, will be alive for the first meeting between the two teams in 12 years – with the Lions securing a 2-1 series win back in 2013.
Both sides will be desperate to land the first blow in what is expected to be a physical and fiery opener Down Under.
Injuries have not been kind to the tourists, but Andy Farrell still has a wealth of talent in his ranks ready for the Wallabies.
Australia are set to roll the dice by handing 22-year-old Tom Lynagh his debut at fly-half. It remains to be seen whether he will make a dream start to his international career or face a baptism of fire.
