British and Irish Lions

Full-back Josh Lewsey and prop Robbie Morris both sat out training as England stepped up preparations for Sunday's RBS 6 Nations clash against Italy at Twickenham.

Lewsey, called into the team as a replacement for the injured Jason Robinson, required ice-pack treatment on a bruised knee, while Morris rested a sore neck.

But England head coach Clive Woodward delivered a positive fitness bulletin about both players.

"Josh and Robbie are both training - they are both 100% fine," Woodward said.

Less than 24 hours after losing their unbeaten record in Canberra, the British & Irish Lions were given a huge boost on arrival in Brisbane when Wales wing George North was declared fit to play in the first Test on Saturday.

The British & Irish Lions will dust themselves down after losing their unbeaten record to the Brumbies and be back at work in a positive frame of mind from Wednesday, according to 2009 Test full back Rob Kearney.

With Tuesday's trip to Canberra next on the agenda for The British & Irish Lions, we take a look back at their last clash with the Brumbies, a match that went right down to the wire.
