Lynagh: 'Australia could struggle'

Former Australia international Michael Lynagh believes that the team could struggle to compete against the British and Irish Lions this summer.

A growing injury list for the home nation has fuelled suggestions that the Lions could dominate this summer, which is a view shared by the former fly-half.

"The Lions could win the series 3-0, yes. Australian teams in the Super 15 tournament have had quite a few injuries to key players, people like Higginbotham and Ioane and a number of other players who would have appeared in the Test series," he told Sky Sports News.

"That has hurt Australia and their problem is that they don't have a huge amount of depth. They have 20-odd players who are strong but as soon as you scratch the surface, they become a bit thin."

Lynagh was part of an Australia side that lost 2-1 to the Lions in 1989.
