  It’s another win for the British and Irish Lions in Australia – a fourth straight victory. This time it was against the ACT Brumbies where it finished 36-24 – in what many were calling a mixed performance by Andy Farrell’s men. Chris, Ashy and Paul Grayson breakdown where things looked good for the Lions and where improvements could be made.Ashy is not seeing progression as quickly as he would like and ask if some players are feeling the pressure. The guys try and answer some all important questions too – from do teams need an identity, is the Number 7 position still wide open and who’s nailed on for the Test team?
