The British and Irish Lions' tour of Australia comes to an end as they head into their tenth and final game Down Under when they face off against the Australian Wallabies.

The British and Irish Lions, under Andy Farrell, have shown historic form as they have taken home nine wins from nine games. In the three-game series against the Wallabies, they started with a 27-19 win at Suncorp Stadium before a tightly-contested 29-26 victory at the MCG.

The Wallabies have not fared too badly, however, as they remained in and around the potential for a victory. Although they have already lost the series, Australia will be playing the final game to stop the Lions from whitewashing their tour Down Under for the first time since 1927.

As they get ready for the Rugby Championship to begin, they will also be trying to demonstrate that their incredible back-to-the-wall performance in the second Test was not an isolated incident but rather something to build on.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match and kickoff time.
