British & Irish Lions vs Western Force live: Latest score and updates from tour match in Perth – UK Times

The British and Irish Lions have landed in Australia and begin life Down Under with an intriguing meeting with the Western Force. It was a disappointing start for the tourists as the curtain came up on their summer with defeat to Argentina in Dublin, leaving Andy Farrell ticking – though there was plenty to encourage the Lions head coach, too.

To Perth, then, for the first match of the tour proper. Kick off at Optus Stadium is at 11am BST.
