The British and Irish Lions held off the First Nations and Pasifika XV 24-19 in a tough, physical contest on Tuesday in the last of their midweek games on the Australian tour. The Lions can now focus on trying to clinch the three-test series against the Wallabies on Saturday in Melbourne after winning the first match 27-19 last weekend in Brisbane.

Andy Farrell fielded a team that was a mix of candidates for at least a bench spot in Saturday’s second Test against Australia, some tour veterans who won’t be playing in that match, and a handful of temporary makeweights who won’t be needed again on this trip.
