THE British and Irish Lions take on Australia for the third and final time in this test series – and they’re hoping to make history.
Lions coach Andy Farrell makes two changes to the starting 15 after sealing the series 2-0 with a dramatic 29-26 victory in the second test.

The British and Irish Lions could make history this weekend by becoming the first team to go 9-0 in a multi-series tour since 1927 in Argentina.
It’s also worth noting that the Lions have never completed a 3-0 clean sweep in a traditional three-test series.
The last time they went unbeaten in a series was against South Africa in 1974, when they won the first three tests and drew the fourth in what used to be a four-match tour.
SunSport can reveal all the details for the Lions’ FINAL match of their 2025 tour.
