ACT Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham hopes captain Ryan Lonergan’s strong showing against the British & Irish Lions is proof the scrumhalf is ready for a golden jersey. Lonergan has been on the verge of a Test debut for the Wallabies for several years, included in camps by several different coaches.

The Lonergan brothers will look to help the ACT Brumbies pull off another improbable win over the British & Irish Lions on Wednesday, 12 years after cheering from the terraces as the Super Rugby team stunned the touring side in Canberra.

The British and Irish Lions outscored the ACT Brumbies five tries to four in Canberra in their fourth straight victory on Australian soil.
