Last-gasp Wallabies defeat evokes painful Lions memories for Jenkins

Gethin Jenkins is hoping his Welsh team-mates will have learned the harsh lessons of the second Test against the Wallabies in Melbourne when they try to salvage something in Sydney in Saturday’s third and final game.

Last weekend’s 25-23 defeat — a last-minute penalty putting them down — was not the first time the 89-time capped prop had seen defeat snatched from the jaws of victory.

Back in 2009, when he was in the British & Irish Lions front row, he had the same experience in the second Test in Pretoria.
