The British and Irish Lions secured a fourth victory on Australian soil, clicking to beat the Brumbies 36-24 in Canberra as full-back Blair Kinghorn limped off early.
The tourists scored five tries through flanker Ollie Chessum, wing James Lowe, replacement full-back Marcus Smith, centre Garry Ringrose and back-row Josh van der Flier.
Lions fly-half Finn Russell added 11 points via the boot (one penalty, four conversions), but the Brumbies did get in for four tries themselves.
