Lions Win Again but Face Injury and Selection Woes

The British and Irish Lions defeated the ACT Brumbies 36-24 in Canberra, achieving their fourth consecutive win on the Australian tour despite an inconsistent performance. Jamison Gibson-Park and Finn Russell directed play effectively, while Garry Ringrose and Dan Sheehan stood out, but the Lions' defensive lapses allowed the Brumbies, missing eight Wallabies, to score four tries. Blair Kinghorn exited early with a knee injury, joining Elliot Daly on the sidelines and leaving Hugo Keenan as the only specialist fullback. These mounting injuries have complicated selection decisions for coach Andy Farrell ahead of the first Test against Australia. Meanwhile, the Wallabies face a fly-half crisis after Noah Lolesio's series-ending injury. As the tour intensifies, several Lions players face uncertainty over their Test selection.
