The British and Irish Lions are one step away from achieving the feat of sweeping Australia on their tour this summer, a goal that was set from the beginning. With eight consecutive victories, the team has demonstrated its dominance on the field.
For coach Andy Farrell, the two test victories against the Wallabies are the biggest achievement, as they secure the series before the third and final match.

The player Garry Ringrose has been ruled out again for this weekend due to concussion protocols. Ringrose, who was initially selected for the second test, had to withdraw after experiencing concussion symptoms in training.
Meanwhile, other players who could not be selected for the second test due to injury, such as Mack Hansen, Joe McCarthy and Sione Tuipulotu, participated in Tuesday’s training.
The match on Saturday could be Ringrose’s last chance to play a test with the Lions, which has caused great disappointment to the player.
For the Wallabies, Allan Alaalatoa will miss the match due to a shoulder injury sustained in the second test.
The absence of Alaalatoa could give an opportunity to Taniela Tupou, who had an outstanding performance in the last match of the tour.
