Overview
- No Lions team has completed an unbeaten Test series since 1974 and the last 3-0 sweep in Australia dates back to 1904.
- Andy Farrell replaced wing James Lowe with Blair Kinghorn and lock Ollie Chessum with James Ryan in his starting XV for the decider.
- Farrell branded suggestions to scrap future tours to Australia “insulting” and defended the Wallabies’ place on the Lions’ rotation.
- Hooker David Porecki was ruled out with a leg injury, prompting Billy Pollard’s promotion to the starting lineup and the late inclusion of Brandon Paenga-Amosa.
- Coach Joe Schmidt has recalled veteran scrumhalf Nic White for his expected final Test as Australia seeks to avert a whitewash.
