Justice for Jac... and a series win for Lions

Western Mail

July 26, 2025

JUSTICE for Jac Morgan. A place on the bench and virtually assured of playing a part in a meaningful part of the series. He will become a test Lion today, and rightly so.

It would be churlish to deny that Tom Curry was outstanding in the fist test.

His physicality along with Beirne, Genge and McCarthy established the dominance that should take the Lions to a 3-0 series whitewash.

However, Morgan deserved to be coming off the bench last week and will get his just deserts today.

So that’s one selection I agree with, but I’m struggling to understand a couple of the others.

From all accounts, the weather in Melbourne is going to be awful this weekend.

Furthermore, the Wallabies have to throw the dice to keep the contest alive by starting Valetini and Skelton.

Australia were blasted out of the game in the first half in Brisbane and start this decisive match fully loaded.

That is why I am a little confused with Genge dropping to the bench. Skelton and Valetini will give it everything for 50 minutes and try and build a lead.
