The Lions did very well and pulled off a comprehensive victory which I didn’t expect as I thought the Aussies had the momentum after game 2. What was particularly impressive was the fact that their lead was pegged back and they could have crumbled but came back and literally blew the Wallabies away
Nothing more to say than well done and congratulations on the series win

At this level, winning is pretty much everything......same in soccer and many other sports in that Finals rarely deliver classics and the 3rd Lions test was a "final".

You're right, they still don't know where to stand and how and just when to give the pass to create the gaps. I thought with Andy Farrell on board that they would have sorted this out along the lines of attacking in rugby league with a proper delta wing shape. They truly are useless and Lancaster sits there like Sven used to do for England football and does nothing as things go wrong. We have had one great result against NZ and that's it. We are going backwards! Just why aren't England the strongest six nations side?

Farrell throws a dummy & goes through the gap. 14 other players in the team & not one within 20m of him. If Shaun Edwards had been in the stands he could have got changed, ran on the pitch & been in support before any of the England team new what was happening. Amateur.

And yet they're paid like professionals. They have the game they deserve, we have the leftovers.
