- Australia vs Lions – Saturday, July 26, 11am BST / 6am ET / 8pm AEST
The Australia vs British & Irish Lions live stream of the 2nd Test sees the Lions going in for the kill while the Wallabies try as they might to bounce back from the loss they incurred last week.
19-27 probably doesn't reflect the relative comfort in which Andy Farrell's tourists took a 1-0 lead in Brisbane. They were superior in pretty much every area of the field, with Sione Tuipulotu, Tom Curry and Dan Sheehan crossing the line and Finn Russell adding 11 points with the boot. Tuipulotu misses Saturday's match at the MCG through injury, with Bundee Aki coming into the midfield. Ollie Chessum and Andrew Porter also come in, with Owen Farrell making it to the bench.
The Aussies will need to harness the memory of their one-point 2nd Test win in Melbourne 12 years ago as they look to square things up in the series. Coach Joe Schmidt will hope that the timely return of influential forwards Will Skelton and Rob Valetini will make a difference, while hooker Dave Porecki also starts.
