MELBOURNE - British and Irish Lions coach Andy Farrell was mulling over his options on July 23 ahead of "the biggest game of our lives", with some selection conundrums for the second rugby Test against Australia.

The tourists have won all seven games in Australia so far, including a polished 27-19 victory over the Wallabies in the first Test at Brisbane last weekend.

They can wrap up the series at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on July 26 and are aiming to write their names in the history books.

"If you can't get up for what's coming, we're all in the wrong place," Farrell said after a second-string Lions weathered a storm against a First Nations and Pasifika XV on July 22.
