The British and Irish Lions' tour of Australia continues as they head into their third game Down Under when they face off against the NSW Waratahs.
Under Andy Farrell, the Lions have kick-started their 2025 tour of Australia with two straight wins. They started with 54-7 drubbing of Western Force in Perth before thrashing the Queensland Reds 52-12 in Brisbane.
The Waratahs are on the back of a rather dull season in the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season. Despite a somewhat strong start to their campaign the New South Wales side could not build up steam to reach the Finals Series as they ended the campaign seven points off the Top 4 with just six wins in 14 games.
