And, at the end of it all, Australia emerged from a night of incident and accident having avoided the ignominy of a 3-0 whitewash. There was to be no glorious farewell for a British and Irish Lions side that had thought of themselves as history-makers;

Australia dominated the British and Irish Lions to claim a 22-12 win and deny the Andy Farrell's men from completing a famous 3-0 series clean sweep.

The third Test between the British and Irish Lions and Australia has been halted due to lightning in the vicinity of Accor Stadium in Sydney. The game was paused with the Wallabies leading 8-0 in the 43rd minute.

With Storm Floris brewing and heading over Ireland this bank holiday weekend many would be wishing of being out in the Australian sun. However watching the British & Irish Lions third and final test in Sydney would have you thinking otherwise.
