The impressive Garry Ringrose was among the try scorers as the British and Irish Lions beat the Brumbies
The British and Irish Lions secured a fourth victory on Australian soil, clicking to beat the Brumbies 36-24 in Canberra as full-back Blair Kinghorn limped off early.
The tourists scored five tries through flanker Ollie Chessum, wing James Lowe, replacement full-back Marcus Smith, centre Garry Ringrose and back-row Josh van der Flier.
Lions fly-half Finn Russell added 11 points via the boot (one penalty, four conversions), but the Brumbies did get in for four tries themselves.
Brumbies – Tries: Tualima (4), Toole (37), Creighton (51), Bowron (75). Cons: Lonergan (52), Debreczeni (76).
Lions – Tries: Chessum (15), Lowe (29), M Smith (40+1), Ringrose (47), Van der Flier (67). Cons: Russell (30, 42, 48, 68). Pens: Russell (62).
Kinghorn – who was recently out with an injury to his right knee – suffered a knock to his left knee early into the contest and eventually had to depart in what will be a worry for Andy Farrell and his staff with just 10 days until the opening Test against Australia.
