Tell me you're in Australia without telling me .

Test match day, Brisbane. It's glorious, and the weather is ok too. Just got to kill 11 hours now . Join us for exclusive commentary on @talkSPORT

Might be a "touch" soggy underfoot tomorrow if this continues. It's threatened it all day, but the heavens have just opened

OK, this is a slightly odd one . .

The prices are high - but it's the first test of the series . .

Hmmm paradise looking somewhat gloomy this morning. As it is winter though, I'll let this one slide

RT @bencoles_: And World Rugby have now confirmed that if a team does deliberately overrun the kickoff/fail to kick it 10 metres, they will….

I know back row was always going to be a competitive area, and quite devisive for some of you - but there are some interesting stats from Oval Insights. Most tackles made on tour: Jac Morgan 49 Josh vd Flier 47.Most tackles missed: Jack Conan 7, Tom Curry 7, Ben Earl 7.

Think my highlight of the day was having a 20min chat with Dan Biggar after the Lions team announcement. Great bloke, loves his rugby, knows his rugby. For obvious reasons I've not heard much of his commentary this tour, but word is he's doing a great job with Miles and RO'G.

Oh go on, feel free, laugh away. I was wrong.

Lions team for the Brisbane Test. Largely as predicted: Beirne, Curry and Conan at 6, 7, 8; "Huwipulotu" in the centres. We said Brumbies side looked close to test lineup, there are 4 changes from that: Chessum, Aki, Ringrose, and Kinghorn out - so 2 of them for medical reasons

Oh, and no James O'Connor in the 23 either.

Harry Wilson keeps the captaincy.No Taniela Tupou.

The Wallabies team.No Skelton, no Valetini.Tom Lynagh starts his first international, Nick Champion de Crespigny makes his debut

I have NO idea why this has got into my head, but something is telling me Jamie George could be in the Lions 23!!. Honestly I have nothing to base this on - but a test match ready competitor, who was unlucky to miss out originally . Please don't laugh when I'm wrong!.

We'll find out the Wallabies 23 later, but things to note from their training today: Rob Valentini was there, but one of the last out, and on his own; Will Skelton's leg was pretty heavily strapped; as was James O'Connor's head.

I'll be honest, winter loses quite a lot of it's sting when it's 20c. There are people walking round the city with jumpers on; I've just come back to the hotel to put my shorts on!

Henry Pollock appears to have confirmed the Lions team news stories. 3 players are going to the Great Barrier Reef today as part of a charity effort - Pollock has posted on Instagtam a photo of Duhan vd Merwe getting into a plane. If they were in the 23 they'd be training.

Love to know what their definition of "breakthrough" is.
