Get ready for a showdown! The British and Irish Lions are set to face Australia in a highly anticipated third Test match. Following their series-clinching victory in Melbourne, the Lions are hungry for a clean sweep. The match takes place at Accor Stadium, with a kickoff time of 11:00 BST on Saturday, August 2nd.
Lions Aim for Historic Sweep
The Lions haven't achieved a clean sweep in Australia, and they're determined to make history. Fly-half Finn Russell ignited the ambition after the Melbourne victory, stating the job wasn't finished until it was a 3-0 series win.
The players have consistently spoken about their desire for a landslide victory, a sentiment that has only grown stronger since securing the series. Assistant Coach Andy Farrell encourages this ambition: "I never think you should shy away from shooting for the stars because you might end up on the moon."
Farrell added, "Players, coaches, staff, everyone, Lions fans, want to win every game. You can't be frightened of that." The Lions are favourites to win their third consecutive Test, a feat they haven't accomplished in over half a century.
