The Lions wrapped up series victory with a game to spare after producing their biggest ever Test comeback at the MCG

The British and Irish Lions squad wrote their name in the history books by sealing a series win over Australia.

Jack Conan’s seasonal finale has delivered in spades. After captaining Leinster to the United Rugby Championship title, the Lions ever-present from four years ago was in ebullient form after Saturday’s 29-26 win sealed a series triumph that he will remember forever.

The Second Test between the Lions and Australia takes place on Saturday July 26, 2025, with kick-off scheduled for 11am BST. That is 8pm local time. The iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground will host the match, with more than 90,000 fans expected to be in attendance.

Woodward, who coached the Lions in 2005, commended Joe Schmidt’s side for making a fight of it at the MCG, but he still stuck the boot in.

Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt spoke about the "wicked backlash that sport can have" after his team was denied victory in the second test against the British and Irish Lions by a last-gasp try.

From the moment Dan Sheehan increased the lead right at the start of the second half, the First Test looked a forgone conclusion. However, a mixture of the Lions’ levels dropping and Australia growing in confidence resulted in a much closer game.

Hugo Keenan touched down with seconds left to propel the British and Irish Lions to a series victory over Australia with a 29-26 triumph in the second Test at Melbourne Cricket Ground.
