• Lions ‘best performance so far’ in final game before first Test

  It was a dominant performance by the Lions against the AUNZ invitational side in their last match before the first Test – where they confidently beat their opponents 48-0. Danny joins Ashy and Sara on the pod and today was all about which player had done enough to get picked for the first Test in seven days time. Ashy and Danny both praised the Lions win – and this has made team selection for Andy Farrell much harder. They also get the latest on Luke Cowan-Dickie’s injury and confirm that Garry Ringrose will miss the first Test. As always they pick their starting 15 for next Saturday – and give a special mention to Owen Farrell who came off the bench in his fourth Lions tour.

• Farrell on bench and more Lions call-ups

  What can we expect from Owen Farrell this Saturday? Will he play at 10 or 12 when when he comes off the bench?

The Lions have been forced to call in more reinforcements at full-back after Blair Kinghorn's injury. The AUNZ invitational side is out and we're expecting a physical battle for the Lions in Adelaide. Plus, we ask John to pick his Test back row and get him to break down where it's going wrong at the breakdown.

• Lions beat Brumbies but was it convincing?

  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?

  What is the greatest try in Lions history? Matt Dawson and Jamie Roberts are back with Chris to rank the best tries ever scored in a Lions Test series. How do you compare a great team try to a moment of individual brilliance? Jerry Guscott makes another appearance in Top 10s and one Test match delivers two tries in the shortlist. Where will Dawson's dummy in 1997 rank? Does Jamie's try in the 3rd Test in 2013 make the cut?
