2025 Lions: Some good, some bad and some ugly
About this episode
The Lions failed to make history in Sydney after losing the third and final Test against the Wallabies in the pouring rain.
Alan and Charlie reflect on the third Test and ask if head coach Andy Farrell got his team selection right after he decided to name most of the same players who featured in the opening two matches.
We also discuss the chaos during the game which forced it to be suspended for 30 minutes and if that had a factor in the result.
Away from the final Test, we look back on the tour as a whole. We ask what worked and what didn't, and if Farrell is the right man to lead the Lions in New Zealand in four years time.
As for Australia, have they shown enough in this series to warrant their status as a future touring country for the Lions?
And we answer all your questions as usual too!
