The British & Irish Lions were defeated 22-12 by Australia in the third and final Test of the 2025 series.
In a match that will be remembered for more than just the action on the field, with dangerous weather causing a significant delay early in the second half, the Wallabies scored three tries to the tourists two to ensure it wouldn't be a clean sweep of the series.
A brave Sydney crowd, made up of an impressive Lions touring party, endured the wet and wild weather at Accor Stadium.
Ollie Chessum was injected into the game early when Maro Itoje was taken from the field for a Head Injury Assessment and the Leicester Tigers lock went straight to work, imposing himself on the Wallabies pack.
The home side crossed early, through Dylan Pietsch, before adding a penalty goal later in the half to take an 8-0 lead into the break.
After a false start to the second forty minutes, with the weather warning, the home team got across the chalk for a second when Max Jorgensen raced away after swooping on a Lions error. Replacement Ben Donaldson converted to take Australia out to a 15-point lead.
Replacement back rower Jac Morgan registered the Lions first points after an hour of play, which was converted by Finn Russell, to make it an eight-point game, before Australia extend their lead out to 15 points when Tate McDermott crossed and Donaldson converted to make it 22-7.
A late try for the Lions, to Will Stuart, cut the deficit to 10 points, 22-12, meaning the series finished 2-1 to the Lions.
