'Job not done yet' as Lions want whitewash
Hull Daily Mail
|August 02, 2025
THE British and Irish Lions are aiming to sign off their Australia tour in style by delivering a series whitewash through their most complete performance of the three Tests.
Andy Farrell's team took an unassailable 2-0 lead against the Wallabies after edging a classic encounter in Melbourne last weekend and are heavy favourites to prevail again when the rivals meet for the final time on Saturday.
Victory would see them become the first Lions team since Willie John McBride's ‘Invincibles’ of 1974 to go unbeaten for the whole tour and the first to win every Test since 1927.
And they want to dispatch Australia for a third consecutive weekend by matching the quality shown in the first half in Brisbane and the second 80 minutes at Melbourne Cricket Ground.
