Groups
Rotation as soon as extra because the fixtures pile up shortly for Andy Farrell and the Lions, made extra tough by Henry Pollock withdrawing with a decent calf late on. Apparently it’s ‘precautionary’. Tadhg Beirne may have the honour of captaining from six, Scott Cummings now begins within the second row and Duhan van der Merwe comes onto the bench. Hugo Keenan has his first begin of the tour at fullback together with Blair Kinghorn on the wing, whereas Fin Smith returns at stand-off.
The Waratahs have a couple of internationals of their lineup in Taniela Tupou, Andrew Kellaway, Rob Leota, Lalakai Foketi, and Darby Lancaster. Quantity 8, Hugh Sinclair, is awarded the captaincy on this his final ever sport {of professional} rugby so count on some emotional scenes.

Preamble
Welcome to Sydney, the place a sport of rugby is at risk of breaking out within the midst of the Owen Farrell’s Price Tour 2025. You’d be forgiven if this match involving 23 British & Irish individuals – none of whom are Owen Farrell – has taken you abruptly on the finish of this week of fairly exceptional discourse.
However there’s a match for the Lions to play towards the Waratahs, a group that has had a fiercely mediocre season of their home competitors and this isn’t even their first alternative choice.
At this stage Farrell Snr’s males needs to be placing collectively extra full performances that deal with the problems thus far. So look out for extra power in defence, a constant lineout and a greater kicking sport out of hand that has been witnessed thus far.
The Wallabies are ready in a fortnight and Joe Schmidt can be watching along with his pocket book. I ponder what he would write about Owen Farrell.
