Australia vs British & Irish Lions - Test series: Live score, team news and updates as Andy Farrell's men look to overpower the Wallabies in series opener
Twelve years after the Lions last travelled Down Under, they return to the Suncorp Stadium this evening to get their 2025 Test series underway and will be keen to get off to a fast start against the Wallabies.
Andy Farrell's side come up against a weakened Wallabies side, who will be without several key players, including fly-half Noah Lolesio, Will Skelton and Rob Valetini, all being ruled out with injuries.
But the Lions boss is urging caution against the Wallabies, insisting his team are not getting 'overconfident'.
'There's no overconfidence at all,' he said ahead of the match.
'It's having an inner confidence within our group that we are going to go execute the plan when it matters.'
He added: 'I haven't played against many Australian sides that are underdogs. I'm sure they'll want to prove a point in terms of that type of thing.
'If you're in a position where it comes down to this every 12 years and you get to pull the shirt on for the Wallabies and the privilege that goes with that, representing your country, they'll be fighting tooth and nail.'

Luke Littler and girlfriend Faith shared loved-up selfie on flight ahead of Australian Darts Masters
LUKE LITTLER shared a loved-up selfie with girlfriend Faith on a jet to Australia. The world champion invited his 19-year-old partner to watch him compete in the Australian Darts Masters. Luke, 18, has grown close to Faith in the last couple of months but initially kept their relationship private. But the darts sensation ushered his new beau on stage to post for pictures after winning the World Matchplay final on July 27. Littler banked £200,000 for his efforts after overcoming James Wade 18-13 at Winter Gardens in Blackpool. Faith was in the crowd with Littler's parents Anthony and Lisa, as the teen became the youngest ever Triple Crown winner. And now Faith has travelled Down Under to support Littler in his next competition. The Nuke posted a snap of the couple on a fancy plane on his Instagram, with the caption "@faithmillar❤". The Aussie Masters starts on August 9 at the Wollongong Entertainment Centre in New South Wales. The pair shared a kiss during his walk-on ahead of the star's quarter-final World Matchplay showdown with Andrew Gilding. The pair were first spotted together in May, with sources at the time claiming they were just friends. The couple jetted off with Littler's family to Spain last month. Faith hails from Wigan, just 15 miles from the darts star's Warrington home. Luke Littler, 18, plants kiss on girlfriend Faith, 19, during walk-on for World Matchplay Darts quarter-final 2 A source said: 'Faith and Luke have become firm friends and enjoy one another's company a lot.' Littler previously dated 22-year-old Eloise Milburn, who cheered him on at his World Darts Championship debut in 2023. At the time of their split, a source told The Sun: 'Luke and Eloise have broken up and it is still very raw. 'He is naturally very upset but they have agreed to stay friends. 'Luke and Eloise tried hard to make their relationship work but with his darts schedule, he is travelling non-stop and it has become increasingly difficult for them to spend quality time together." Littler was demolished 8-1 by Gerwyn Price during the final in Australia last August.

Sore head? Jelena Dokic goes makeup-free and appears tired as she arrives home in Melbourne after celebrating her first Logie win
Jelena Dokic was riding high after her first ever Logie win on Sunday night. On Monday, it was back to reality for the former athlete, who appeared to be nursing a sore head from her late night at the prestigious event. The tennis champion flew back to Melbourne from Sydney and seemed tired and a tad cranky as she made her way from the terminal. Jelena wheeled along her pale blue carry-on case, and had two full tote bags in tow. The 42-year-old seemed to be taking a phone call via her AirPods as she balanced her tote on her suitcase. The sportswoman had on a glamorous makeup look the night before, but stepped out on Monday makeup-free. The fresh-faced beauty showed off her youthful visage and trimmed-down figure in her casual ensemble, which included jeans and a cream blazer. The night before, Jelena fought back tears as she accepted her first ever Logie Award at The Star in Sydney. She Jelena admitted she was in complete shock over the win, confessing she hadn't prepared a speech and had planned to simply 'wing it' if her name was called. 'Ooh! I know you said 30 seconds but I will need at least 30 to gather myself,' she began, her voice trembling. 'I'm actually in shock. I didn't think this was possible and I didn't have a speech prepared.' 'I said to my Channel Nine team and Todd that we will wing it… I underestimated this one,' she continued. In a heartfelt address, Dokic thanked the production team, Roadshow, In Films and her close collaborators Ivan, Manny and Jessica, crediting them for believing in her story when she initially doubted it would ever make it to air. Dokic's most powerful moment came when she dedicated the win to survivors of domestic violence and those battling mental health challenges. 'This is not about winning,' she said. 'This is a win for victims and survivors, especially of domestic violence and mental health.' 'To not just have those stories heard but for them to reclaim their lives, to find their voice and not just survive but to thrive. To do what we need to actually be able to talk about it,' she continued. In an inspiring message to young women, she urged: 'Never allow anyone to take your worth or happiness or smile away. Believe in your goals and dreams. 'I am standing here as someone who literally had that dream. I believed in it. I didn't give up on it. If I can do it, you can do it too.'

‘It's been life-changing': Ben Earl takes Lions lessons back to Saracens and England
After the British & Irish Lions failed to complete the clean sweep they were seeking in Sydney, the head coach, Andy Farrell, conceded it might take one or two beers before his players felt a sense of pride in their achievements. For Ben Earl, you sense it did not take as long as that. Earl gave a glowing endorsement of his first Lions tour – he appeared as a replacement in the first and third Tests – passionately expressing the hope he features on the next one and explaining why he returns to Saracens and England a much-improved player. The key, according to the 27-year-old back-rower, is essentially to go with the flow. He cites as an example that on the way to the stadium last Saturday the door on the team bus became jammed and as a result the Lions had to decamp to another. In other, more highly strung environments, disruption like that can have a derailing effect, but Earl's eyes have been opened to a world where not everything has to be perfect or prescriptive. To that end, it was instructive to hear he has spoken to England colleagues about bringing a similar attitude when they reconvene in October. 'Just get out of your own way,' he says. 'You can overthink this sport so much but when you've got a game on Saturday, then you've got to play again on Tuesday or Wednesday, you're not going to be able to do every rep, review everything opposition. Get out of your own way and just play rugby. 'It's almost like you get to the pinnacle of our sport – this is what it is – and you're back playing under-12s on a Sunday morning. There's no preparation, you just go out, you have a plan, you try to implement it, you express yourself in a way Andy and the rest of the coaching staff have allowed us to do and I've loved every minute of it. 'It's been a life-changing experience, the highlight of my life, certainly my rugby-playing life. I've made friends for life, memories for life. It showed me something completely different in terms of the rugby side of things. I've loved it. It has been completely transformative for me and I'm a far better player because of it. 'I've spoken to fellow Englishmen that there's some cool stuff we can bring back to camp and that's sort of the whole point, isn't it? We can come back and say, 'there are some bits we've done here that work when we have time away or during campaigns'. Sign up to The Breakdown The latest rugby union news and analysis, plus all the week's action reviewed after newsletter promotion 'I'm almost excited to get going again. I need my time off, but I'm almost excited to get back into certain environments to be like, 'have you thought about this?'.' Earl is equally effusive about Farrell's coaching style. The Ireland head coach led the Lions to a first series win in 12 years on his first tour in the top job. 'He has made me fully believe in how good I am,' says Earl. 'Every time he talks to the group, I'm like, I'll do anything for that man, I'm ready to play. Even when I'm not playing. Every time he spoke to the group, I'm like, when the time comes, I'm ready to play for this bloke.' What of Farrell junior's England future? In the second Test, in Melbourne, Owen won his first international cap since the 2023 World Cup and having returned to join Earl at Saracens he is eligible to play for England again. 'I love playing with him, every time I take the pitch with Owen, I think 'we're going to win',' says Earl. 'That's his best quality. 'It's not up to me [if he plays for England again]. There are too many moving parts for me to comment on that. The more times I can take the field with that bloke, the better, let me put it that way.'
