The Lions team is out!

The first Test in Brisbane is almost upon us! Can Australia defy the odds and shock the Lions at their spiritual home? Chris catches up with Lions legend Jamie Roberts to get his take on Jac Morgan's omission and what the impact will be on the Welsh fans' love for the Lions. Jamie also pinpoints where he expects Australia to target Andy Farrell's side tomorrow. We also get the Wallabies perspective with Geoff Parling, a former Lion himself. We hear how he's been preparing his players to deal with the emotion of facing the Lions on home soil.

Chris and Ugo are in Brisbane as Andy Farrell names his long-awaited Lions Test team. There are some big selection calls in the back row as Farrell weighs up form against pedigree, while it’s an all-Scottish midfield in an otherwise Irish and English dominated squad. How will Jac Morgan be feeling after being left out? And what are the other areas of debate? We also discuss the Australia team after they lose some big names up front and turn to a rookie with a famous name at fly-half, before haring across town to meet up with Wallaby great Will Genia.

Tom has managed his first round of golf of the tour and turns up to the pod with news of a hole in one – sort of! GRO is starting to get tour FOMO now that Chris is on the ground, but how will he feel after the series done? We discuss what we want from the Tests, and if the Wallabies can deliver jeopardy and drama we crave. Would three resounding wins for the Lions be a good thing? News of the Test team has started to emerge in Brisbane ahead of the announcement tomorrow and all signs point to an all-Scottish midfield. There’s finally a Welsh win for GRO to celebrate and more Springbok rugby shenanigans to debate.

The pod is on the ground in Australia with the Test series days away. Chris and Lauren are joined by Wallaby great Stephen Moore to look ahead to a special few weeks. But with Australia eighth in the world rankings, what will we get from the home side? And how much does the Australian sporting public need the Wallabies to fire? There is breaking news from the Lions camp with Mack Hansen a doubt and we discuss protocol on long-haul flights.

What is the most controversial moment in Lions history? Where does the infamous spear tackle on Brian O’Driscoll rank in our list? There's the infamous Battle of Ballymore and the '99' call to discuss, but our shortlist is littered with controversial moments that happened off the pitch. Matt Dawson and Jamie Roberts are at the heart of two of them. We get the lowdown on Matt's infamous newspaper column from 2001 that almost got him kicked off tour and Jamie takes us back to 2013 to relive arguably the most talked about selection call in Lions history.

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.

As England look to seal a series whitewash in Argentina, Chris chats to their latest centurion. George Ford reflects on a special day for him and the team last weekend and discusses how England are determined to back it up this Saturday. Ford also opens up on the disappointment of Lions selection and how he has dealt with setbacks over the course of his stellar career. And with Owen Farrell back available, have England ever had better options at number 10?

What can we expect from Owen Farrell this Saturday? Will he play at 10 or 12 when when he comes off the bench? Ugo and pod favourite John Barclay discuss Andy Farrell's final team selection before the first Test in Brisbane and debate where he plans to use his son. 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.

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?
