Giant second-row Will Skelton has been passed fit to play but Australia are without influential backrower Rob Valetini while tighthead prop Allan Alaalatoa has also been ruled out. This is also a Wallabies swansong for veteran scrum-half Nic White who has announced he will retire from international rugby after this Test match.

The Lions clinched the Test series in dramatic fashion last weekend with a sensational comeback victory over the Wallabies courtesy of a last gasp try from Hugo Keenan. Andy Farrell has been quick to stress there will be no resting on their laurels having already won the Test series with a clean sweep on Australian soil a big target.

The British and Irish Lions head to Sydney with the opportunity of a series whitewash over Australia in the third Test at Accor Stadium. After winning 27-19 in the first Test in Brisbane, Andy Farrell’s men came from 18 points down to beat Australia 26-29 in Melbourne last weekend to seal the series victory with a game to spare.
