Overview

• The third Test at Accor Stadium saw Australia secure a 22-12 win, preventing the British & Irish Lions from completing a 3-0 whitewash last achieved in 1927.
• Play was halted for 35–37 minutes early in the second half when lightning strikes forced a suspension for player safety.
• Australia built an early lead through Dylan Pietsch’s corner try and extended it with Max Jorgensen’s breakaway score before Tate McDermott sealed victory late on.
• The Lions were further disrupted when skipper Maro Itoje and wing Tommy Freeman failed head-injury assessments and James Ryan was stretchered off after a heavy collision.
• Irish prop Tadhg Furlong made his ninth straight Lions Test start and scrum-half Nic White marked his 73rd and final cap for Australia in his farewell match.
