A British & Irish Lions tour to Australia is a once in a lifetime experience for most players. Going Down Under and winning a Test series is a rarer feat still, but a clean sweep? That's almost unheard of. Below we have all the information on how to watch British & Irish Lions tour from anywhere, with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and more.
There'd been tremendous excitement over the impact Andy Farrell could have on the Lions, and boy has he justified it. Having demolished the Wallabies in the opening Test, with the 19-27 final score not even coming close to reflecting the tourists' dominance, the Lions pulled off a thrilling comeback to secure the series at the MCG. It's their first series success since 2013, and now they're chasing a clean sweep.
If there's one criticism that can be leveled at the Lions, it's that they haven't yet managed to sustain their best rugby over 80 minutes. They took their foot of the pedal in the latter stages of the opener, while Rob Valetini's injury got them off the hook last weekend. But if there's one person who values style just as much as seeing the job through, it's Finn Russell.
