The British and Irish Lions used their final tour match ahead of the first test against the Wallabies to overwhelm an Australia and New Zealand combined side 48-0.

Every four years, a British and Irish Lions tour is still seen by many as the peak of professional rugby, with the finest players from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland joining forces.

The British and Irish Lions thrashed the AUNZ Invitational XV in their last game before the first Test against the Wallabies, pwering to a 48-0 win featuring eight tries at the Adelaide Oval. Duhan van der Merwe ran in a hat-trick, with two tries before half-time and this effort after 63 minutes.
