British & Irish Lions vs Queensland Reds live: Latest score and updates

On Monday, following scans in Brisbane after a bit of a delay getting away from Perth, the Lions confirmed the bad news: Tomos Williams is out of the tour. The Welsh contingent in the squad is down to one.

His misfortune nonetheless brings opportunity for another, though, and Scotland’s Ben White has flown quickly across the Tasman to join up with his new squad-mates and provide scrum-half cover.

The Lions got their first win of the tour on the board in Perth on Saturday, with their strength in depth showing as they pulled away with the Western Force – but injury to Tomos Williams put a downer on an otherwise very positive showing.

The British and Irish Lions tour continues in Brisbane, with the tourists swapping coasts from west to east for their second game Down Under. Andy Farrell’s side grace Suncorp Stadium little more than a fortnight before taking on the Wallabies at the venue, with a dangerous Queensland Reds side their hosts in the first midweek fixture of the 10-match itinerary.
