British and Irish Lions

The tough-tackling Sale Sharks star - who has been tipped by former Scotland captain David Sole to tour with the Lions this summer - has been ordered by doctor James Robson to undergo a scan on the knee he injured against Leeds Tykes last Friday.

The 26-year-old has been one of Scotland's best performers during their disappointing campaign so far but the prospect of him lining up alongside Simon Taylor was an exciting one.

Williams has already been forced to rule out Northampton back-row forward Ross Beattie, who is is remaining under the care of his club's medical team after he suffered a head injury in their loss to London Wasps on Sunday.

That has prompted Williams to draft in Edinburgh's Simon Cross and Glasgow's Paul Dearlove, who are both uncapped, to his squad for Tuesday's training session in Stirling.

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.

The British & Irish Lions went to the home of one of the two schools that played fixtures against them on the inaugural tour in 1888 this week, Sydney Grammar School.
