The British and Lions tour is nearly over, with a clean sweep over the Wallabies on the cards. Andy Farrell's side put in a solid, yet imperfect, performace in the first Test as they earned a 27-19 victory over Australia. However, the following Test was not so straightforward. The Lions came back from an 18-point deficit to beat Australia 29-26 in front a mammoth crowd in Melbourne. A contentious try in the last minute by Hugo Keenan capped an extraordinary comeback win for the Lions in front of a record crowd at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. It means that the Lions have remained perfect since arriving Down Under with a eight straight wins. Their only defeat this summer was in their farewell game in Dublin against Argentina.
