The Lions last toured Australia in 2013, in a series that still reigns supreme in fans’ memories. That year, the Lions defeated the Wallabies 2-1, with a convincing 41-16 win in the third and final Test. It was their first series win since 1997 and one of the most celebrated moments in modern Lions history.
The British & Irish Lions will be led by head coach Andy Farrell, who has plenty of experience as he has coached Ireland to impressive standings in the world of international rugby, recently beating Australia back in November. Maro Itoje will captain the Lions. As a powerful presence both on and off the field, known for his athleticism, intelligence, and ability to inspire teammates off the back of being voted player of the series back in 2021 for the Lions tour of New Zealand. With Farrell and Itoje at the helm, fans can expect a focused, fearless squad ready to take on the Wallabies.
