It's almost certainly happening, but that's not actually confirmation, it's still just (credible) rumour.

Of the Brumbies contingent in the Wallabies squad, I think only Corey Toole is likely to miss selection for the first test against the Lions. In that case, I can see him being available for the Brumbies game on 9 July. From the rest of the squad, I think the likely line up for that match will look something like this :
1. Lington Ieli
2. Lachlan Lonergan
3. Feao Fotuaika
4. Toby McPherson
5. Lachlan Shaw
6. Tuaina Tualima
7. Luke Reimer
8. Charlie Cale (if fit)/Rory Scott
9. Ryan Lonergan
10. Declan Meredith
11. Corey Toole
12. David Feliuai
13. Hudson Creighton
14. Andrew Muirhead
15. Ollie Sapsford
16. Liam Bowron
17. Harry Vella/Blake Schoupp
18. Rhys Van Nek/Tevita Alatini
19. Cadeyrn Neville
20. Rory Scott/Lachlan Hooper/Judah Saumasue
21. Harrison Goddard/Klayton Thorn
22. Jack Debreczini/Austin Anderson
23. Kadin Pritchard/Shane Wilcox
Not a bad looking side with around 25 players with Super Rugby experience with 6 (I think) having Wallaby experience. They have a real shot at repeating the 2013 win imo.

Jeez Schoupp is superman to be able to recovery from a snapped Achillies so quickly!

Just had to say it didn't you Tom?
What about Charlie Cale? Is he superman also because I've listed him when his injury status is really unknown? If anyone is unfit, then it is as obvious as the nose on your face that they won't be in the side for the Lions match. QED.
A better comment might have been to look at the proximity of the Pacifica game to the Brumbies match and perhaps identify a couple/few who might be picked in that side and therefore likely to be unavailable for the Brumbies side. Players like Muirhead, Goddard, Fotuailua, Tualima, Ieli, Feliuai, Alatini and Saumasue. Might be a bit controversial, but I reckon some, maybe all, of those would prefer to play for the Brumbies in a fair dinkum match than in essentially an exhibition match.

Mate did you just copy and paste this list from somewhere? Or did you actually type Blake Schoupp’s name forgetting he raptured his Achilles like 6 weeks ago? I didn’t mention Cale because I’m not sure of his timeline. I know that a ruptured Achilles takes over 6 months. If Cale is
right to go, he will play for the Brumbs against the lions. All others are live options. Murihead will play for the First Nations/ pasifika team.
