The Western Force vs British & Irish Lions live stream sees Andy Farrell's touring team looking to dust themselves down for the first official stop of their Australian tour following the close to defeat to Argentina last weekend.
Farrell is expected to ring the changes from the XV that lost in Dublin – including this game against the Western Force in Perth, he has five matches in which to work out his ideal combinations before the Test matches start. The likes of Finn Russell, James Lowe, Blair Kinghorn and Josh van der Flier were all absent last time and there will be much interest to see how they perform when they pull on the famous red jersey Down Under.

Much of the chat around the Western Force side in the lead up has been around whether their internationally capped players would be present. Farrell and his staff want a competitive game and were disgruntled to learn that a few key Wallabies would be protected from playing. That said, Nick Champion de Crespigny, Dylan Pietsch, Tom Robertson, Darcy Swain and Nic White have all been released to play this Saturday.
