The Australia vs British & Irish Lions live stream of the 3rd Test carries huge significance as the home side attempt to avoid a series whitewash against a Lions side bidding to win all nine of their tour matches on Australian soil.
Andy Farrell’s charges have been simply sensational in the first two Tests against the Wallabies, romping to a 27-19 victory in Brisbane before producing a stirring comeback 23-5 down to snatch victory and wrap up the series in front of 90,000 fans at an electric Melbourne Cricket Ground. Now the Lions are aiming to become the first team since the 1927 tour of Argentina to record a series whitewash.
While the Lions are riding high, the Wallabies were left reeling in Melbourne, having produced their best performance for quite some time. Joe Schmidt’s side were superb in the opening 30 minutes as lock Will Skelton and flanker Rob Valetin set the tone with their powerful running and tackling. However, they were unable to build on their impressive start and will have to raise their levels once again if they are to avoid a 3-0 series defeat.
