The Lions are 2/2 down under!
Alan and Charlie reflect on another comfortable win for Andy Farrell's side who put 50 points past the Queensland Reds on Wednesday morning. The Telegraph's Chief Rugby Correspondent Gavin Mairs joins the guys from the Suncorp Stadium to reflect on the win and also discuss the impact Elliot Daly's injury could have on the squad and where it leaves their options at full back.
There's also high praise for the back row with Jac Morgan and Jack Conan impressing, we assess the first outing for Finn Russell and Jamison Gibson Park as half back partners and if there is a concern at tighthead after a difficult game for Will Stuart.
Away from the Lions, we hear from England head coach Steve Borthwick who tells us he has been in contact with the returning Owen Farrell.
And we answer all your questions as usual

1:11.0 | Another win, another half century, some familiar themes to get into. Some positive, some negative, some guys putting their hands up and asserting themselves. Some just slipping back.

1:41.0 | Gav, you're fleeced up in Brisbane. Maybe it's a little bit chilly there, but red hot from the lions at the end of it, dare I say? |
1:48.4 | They certainly looked like they were coming into things. |
1:50.7 | Yeah, definitely, Al. |
1:51.9 | I mean, we saw another big second half performance from the Lions. |
1:55.3 | I think a bit like against the Western Force, they were a little bit clunky, disjointed in the first half. |
2:01.7 | We saw some lineouts loss, some scrum penalties, some sloppy defensive work as well. |
