馃 Do the Lions stick with a winning formula or give some of the original tour squad a go next weekend? Think we'll probably see tinkering, but a similar spine of the side.
馃 Will Stuart swapping boots with Furlong. Never seen that before! Stinky.
馃悙 MOTM in the winning test, tour winning captain, absolute rock of the side. Sir Maro Itoje?
Today's @qatarairways MOTM, @maroitoje 馃弲 #Lions2025
Who are the leading candidates for player of the series so far? 馃尮 Maro Itoje 馃尮 Ellis Genge 馃彺鬆仹鬆仮鬆伋鬆仯鬆伌鬆伩 Finn Russell 鈽橈笍 Dan Sheehan
Maro Itoje has just solidified his status as a Lions legend, by the way. - Started 2/3 tests in series draw vs NZ in 2017 - Started all 3 tests & won Lions man of the series vs South Africa in 2021 - Series win as captain vs Australia in 2025 What a Lion. 馃
馃 The Lions as a concept is alive and well!
90,307 is the official attendance -- a Lions record in Australia (but not all time, as they got around 100,000 in South Africa in 1955) Brilliant! @TimesSport
馃 Serious test. Made the tour. Love it. Whitewash coming?
馃 THE LIONS WIN THE SERIES! 2-0 and that's goodnight. Through the wars against a resurgent Wallabies to make it even sweeter. What a finish! That penalty call 馃憖
馃 Can Australia keep momentum now without Skelton and Valentini? Been at the heart of their comeback in this series so far. Tough 30 ahead!
Half time ratings! 馃敟 HOT Valentini Skelton Gordon 鉂勶笍 COLD Lions pack Keenan Lowe
HT: 馃 Australia 23 - 17 Lions 馃 Australia are in this series! Winning almost every collision and looking really sharp. Lions make up a bit more ground just before half time. What a test.
馃 Farrell wanted to drop Huw Jones, btw... Had such a good tour. Been superb.
馃 Sua'ali'i, the Wallabies superstar, bounds through! What a player, what a move, what a try.
馃 I am Joe Schmidt. Sua'ali'i is superb!
馃 Australia really need to utilise Joseph Sua'ali'i better in the second test. Need to give him the ball and let him work his magic. The bloke is a freak rugby player. Use him.
馃 WHERE WAS THIS AUSTRALIA LAST WEEK Winning every collision. Zippy. Try time. Wow.
馃
The British and Irish and NZ Lions are looking strong
馃 Sheehan launches himself like a dolphin over the tryline! That's going to be a controversial one. Dived for the line, but also leapt right over a tackle.
馃 "Yes sir, yes sir, but he started it" Hilarious from Maro.
