Overview

• Farrell has made two changes to the starting XV, introducing Blair Kinghorn on the wing and James Ryan in the second row
• Schmidt has recalled scrum-half Nic White for expected wet conditions and will be without flanker Rob Valetini through injury
• A Lions victory would mark the first unbeaten tour since 1974 and deliver the first 3-0 whitewash in Australia since 1904
• Farrell dismissed suggestions of scrapping future tours to Australia as “insulting” and defended the nation’s place in the quadrennial rotation
• Saturday’s decider at Accor Stadium will determine whether the Lions finish the 2025 tour undefeated and the Wallabies restore pride
