Lions win the series after dramatic comeback

It was an epic match in Melbourne with the Lions getting a 29-26 win against Australia to take the series victory

What a match! The second Test in Melbourne had everything – drama, comebacks, grit and fight as the Lions fought hard to beat a much improved Wallabies side by 29 points to 26 – to take the series victory, meaning they have won a series for the first time in 12 years.

Chris is joined by Lions rugby royalty – Matt Dawson, Andy Nicol and Jamie Roberts - live from a bar with all the on the whistle reaction.

Andy wishes Australia played like that in the first Test, for Matt it was a match that had him on the edge of his seat and for Jamie it was one of the greatest Test matches… ever!

The guys debate that and so much more – including the brilliant performances from Itoje, Russell, Kinghorn, Aki, Gibson-Park and Morgan to name but a few! They also chat what didn’t go to plan for the Lions in the first half and why Australia were so class.

But one thing they all agree on is that this was a ‘magic’ Test match and the Wallabies finally came to the party!
