The British and Irish Lions have prevailed in their last tour match, against a First Nations and Pasifika side, in Melbourne.
Coach Andy Farrell had, understandably, made wholesale changes to the Test side that beat the Wallabies 27-19 on Saturday to take a 1-0 lead in the series and his side were pushed right to the last at Marvel Stadium.
The First Nations and Pasifika had their fair share of moments, with Australia veteran Kurtley Beale guiding them around the park.
They were physical and had plenty of success, particularly at the breakdown, making it tough for the Lions all evening.
While it was a chance for some Lions players to get a rest before the second Test this weekend, it was also a chance for some to potentially put their hand up for a place in the squad.
But, it was far from their best performance, and Farrell is unlikely to have too much of a selection headache this week.
Owen Farrell, son of coach Andy, made his first start of the tour after coming in as a late replacement for Elliot Daly and combined well with Fin Smith, who started at fly-half.
