Lions vs Australia: Kinghorn and Ryan start in crucial Test Final

Lions Reveal Lineup for Decisive Third Test Against Australia

British and Irish Lions coach Andy Farrell has made two changes to his starting lineup for the third and final test against Australia. This match will determine if the tourists achieve a 3-0 sweep. Irish second row James Ryan will partner with captain Maro Itoje in the second row at Sydney’s Accor Stadium this Saturday. In addition, Scotland’s Blair Kinghorn has been named to replace Mack Hansen on the left wing.

“We have put ourselves in a great position to finish this tour with our best performance to date and create our own page of history,” Farrell commented.

Farrell also added: “Last weekend’s trial match in Melbourne was an incredible spectacle and illustrated how special Lions tours are and what they mean to both players and fans.” “We expect another epic battle this weekend against a Wallaby team that showed their quality last week.” Chessum moves to the bench, where Ben Earl comes in as a replacement in the third line alongside Jac Morgan, with Farrell opting for a 6-2 split in favor of the forwards for what is forecast to be a test with humid weather. The third-line titular and the midfield pair remain unchanged for the third consecutive match, while Irish prop Tadhg Furlong will start his ninth consecutive test with the Lions in the front row.
