NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA, JUL 30 – The Lions seek a perfect 3-0 series win, the first in nearly a century, after securing a 2-0 lead with strong team selections and motivated players, coach Andy Farrell said.
- On Thursday, Andy Farrell announced his team for the third Test at Sydney's Accor Stadium, aiming for a 3-0 series sweep with the strongest possible XV.
- Dan Sheehan said the Lions have all the motivation they need to whitewash Australia after a 29-26 win in Melbourne and is confident for Saturday.
- Ollie Chessum drops to the bench, where Ben Earl and Jac Morgan provide back row cover in a 6-2 split, as Farrell otherwise retains his established Test starters.
- Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt made four changes for Saturday's third Test in Sydney, including 35-year-old Nic White's final appearance and Dylan Pietsch replacing Harry Potter with an injury.
