Lions 36 - 24 Brumbies

In this episode, The Rugby Mafia break down the Lions’ gritty 36–24 win over the Brumbies in Canberra—a fourth straight victory that came with mixed performances. Highlights include Ollie Chessum’s strong start, five flashy tries, and Finn Russell’s 11 points with the boot. But it wasn’t all smooth sailing: sloppy breakdowns and an early knee clanger for Blair Kinghorn (who, thankfully, isn’t seriously hurt) added fresh concerns just ten days ahead of the First Test. Tune in as we unpack the standout plays, emerging leaders like Jamison Gibson‑Park, and the work still needed for the Lions to peak — both mentally and tactically — ahead of facing Australia.
