Summary
Alan and Charlie unpack the latest Lions win down under over the Brumbies in Canberra!
Andy Farrell picked what many considered to be his strongest side on Wednesday morning but the de facto Test team failed to fully click in a number of areas.
The biggest concern came in the first half when full-back Blair Kinghorn was taken off with an injury leaving the Lions looking very light at full-back. Our Chief Rugby Correspondent Gavin Mairs joins the show to discuss what Andy Farrell had to say about the Scotland international.
Elsewhere, there were positive performances from Ollie Chessum, Dan Sheehan and Gary Ringrose On the other end of the scale, we ask if Tom Curry has played himself out of the Test side with an underwhelming performance at openside.
