The British and Irish Lions won the test series against Australia 2-1, despite losing the third test 22-12 tonight in Sydney. It was the only loss the visitors suffered during their six week stay Down Under.

The Lions won their first test series since Australia 2013.

The match at Accor Stadium was halted early in the second half due to lightning, and did not resume for around 40 minutes.

Lions second rower Tadhg Beirne was named the Tom Richards Player of the Series.

At last Saturday’s second test at the MCG, the 90,307 match attendance was a record crowd for a British & Irish Lions match, and the MCG’s record largest rugby union crowd.

In The Rugby Championship’s opening match, Australia defeats South Africa 38-22 to notch the first victory at Ellis Park in 62 years.

Best part? Wallabies were down 22-zip.

Great result. Looking forward to the Bledisloe Cup series next month

73-0 !

Over 3 games of that competition, the “home teams” have outscored “away teams” by a staggering score of 180-15.

I hope this terrible trend doesn’t continue the rest of the group stage.

Still have Canada-Fiji at 2:30am and France-Italy at 5:15am AEST.

South Africa have retained the Nelson Mandela Plate with a 30-22 win over Australia in the Rugby Championship match in Cape Town. The Springboks led 20-7 late in the first half before the Wallabies mounted another fightback to be 23-22 with 12 minutes remaining, but James O’Connor missed three goal kicks while the Springboks added another try to seal the match.

For the first time ever on Argentina soil, the Pumas beat New Zealand 29-23.

Embarrassing for the ABs despite them being showed 3 yellow cards the whole game; and losing a player in the final 10 minutes which cost them a chance to come back for victory.
