Overview

• Hugo Keenan’s last-minute try at the Melbourne Cricket Ground secured a 29-26 win and gave the Lions an unassailable 2-0 series lead.
• Referee Andrea Piardi rejected Wallabies’ appeals and ruled both Jac Morgan and Carlo Tizzano arrived simultaneously at the breakdown before the try.
• Joe Schmidt argued the decision undermined World Rugby’s player-safety focus, a position echoed by CEO Phil Waugh who is calling for an explanation.
• Andy Farrell hailed Morgan’s clean-out as ‘brilliant’; a victory in Sydney would complete the Lions’ first series whitewash in Australia since 1904.
• Facing injuries to key forwards, the Wallabies are overhauling their lineup to pursue a morale-boosting win in the series-deciding third Test on August 2 in Sydney.
