The British & Irish Lions’ tour kicks off on Saturday, with the renowned side squaring off against Western Force in the opening match of their Australia tour.
Andy Farrell’s squad landed Down Under at the beginning of the week, jetting to the southern hemisphere after a 28-24 loss to Argentina in Dublin.
The outcome wasn’t the best preparation for the men in red, but they will have put that behind them now, focusing solely on today’s game in Perth.
Farrell has made 13 changes to the team defeated by the Pumas as Dan Sheehan captains the side in the absence of Maro Itoje.
Today’s match, which starts at 11am Irish time, will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event, but you can also keep up with live updates in our blog below, via Wales Online.
