Finn Russell identified as Lions' 'danger man' ahead of tour opener against Western Force

• Kurtley Beale sees Ikitau and Suaali as keys to Wallabies' hopes

• Australia back says he learned from infamous slip in 2013 series

Former Wallabies back Kurtley Beale has singled out Finn Russell as the biggest threat to Australia's prospects of victory against the visiting British & Irish Lions. Beale, a leading figure in the 2013 Lions series, has also warned his compatriots to brace themselves for a "juggernaut" of a rugby experience when the tour kicks off this Saturday.

Beale's infamous slip as he went to kick a potential match-clinching penalty in the first Test in Brisbane had a key bearing on the outcome 12 years ago. But the 36-year-old now believes Russell holds the key to the forthcoming series.
