Farrell’s Lions missed out on a whitewash but the head coach has been well liked by his squad and got a lot of bold calls right

A ll Blacks great Jeff Wilson has laid into the 2025 British and Irish Lions after they escaped with a 2-1 series victory over the Wallabies. Andy Farrell’s men emerged victorious in the first two Tests to wrap up the series prior to the third game, but they failed to become the first Lions side in almost a century to whitewash their opponents.

The British & Irish Lions had already done enough to assure their legacy before their dream of a 3-0 series triumph was washed away in a maelstrom of lightning, rain and defiant Australians on Saturday night.
