British and Irish Lions

Stade Francais scrum-half Agustin Pichot has mixed emotions going into the European Cup final - because the game is costing him a chance to play in Argentina's historic game against the British & Irish Lions.

The Lions match comes just 24 hours after Stade Francais take on Toulouse in the cup final at Murrayfield.

"As soon as the semi-final match against Biarritz was over, I noticed that I would miss that match (against the Lions) and I got sad," Pichot said.

"I couldn't believe it. On one hand, I have the possibility of playing the final of one of the most important tournaments in the world; but on the other one, I won't play against one of the best teams on the planet."

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.
