The Lions rallied late to snatch a memorable win in Melbourne to secure the series win over Australia with one Test remaining
The British and Irish Lions secured an iconic series victory with a dramatic 29-26 win over Australia in Melbourne.
Hugo Keenan struck in the last minute to clinch a 2-0 score before the last Test in Sydney next week.
The quadrennial trip produced a memorable Test after the Wallabies rallied after defeat in Brisbane to push the tourists all the way at the MCG following a fiery first-half display.
First formed in 1888, the Lions brings together the best rugby players in Britain and Ireland to take on the three Southern Hemisphere giants (New Zealand, Australia and South Africa) in turn at four year intervals.
Here’s everything you need to know about the tour and the next match for Andy Farrell’s men.
