Sione Tuipulotu, Tom Curry and Dan Sheehan score tries as British and Irish Lions move 1-0 in series vs Wallabies after victory at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane; Watch every game of 2025 Lions tour, including all three Tests vs Australia, live on Sky Sports

Andy Farrell's British and Irish Lions produced a dominant display against Australia in Brisbane to win 27-19 and move 1-0 ahead in their three-Test series.

The tourists scored three tries through centre Sione Tuipulotu, flanker Tom Curry and hooker Dan Sheehan, before taking their foot off the gas somewhat during the second period.

Fly-half and playmaker Finn Russell produced an outstanding performance in his time on the pitch, executing highlight-reel attacking moments and finishing 100 per cent off the kicking tee (one penalty, three conversions). Replacement Marcus Smith also slotted a late penalty.

The Wallabies scored through Max Jorgensen, Carlo Tizzano and Tate McDermott tries - the latter two once 19 and 15 points down respectively - but Joe Schmidt's charges were worryingly outperformed across the park, struggling most in the physical stakes and at lineout.
