Now that’s what a Lions test is supposed to look like. What a captivating spectacle from start to finish.

They’re called Test matches for a reason and against all the odds how the Lions were finally tested by a completely rejuvenated Australian side. Winning the series will feel a whole lot better for the players and management given the way the Wallabies made the Lions earn it.
