The Lions series is done and dusted, and Australian rugby takes a collective breath before the start of the Rugby Championship.

To round off our Lions coverage, the GAGR pods merge one more time as Nick W from The Dropped Kick-Off and Happy and Sully from Talking Teams discuss the series as a whole.

The teams have been named for the third test and the build up is underway. The Lions have won the series, but there is still plenty to play for. Are they better or worse than last week? Australia have plenty of forced and unforced changes and are trying to build for the rugby championship.

As always, we hope you enjoy.

After the first test, there is just one tour game left for the Lions, and that's against the Pacifika side. The players have only been together a few days and that could be the main issue for the side because they look impressive on paper.

Our thoughts on this game and a very quick review of the 1st test are in this pod

As always, we hope you enjoy.

The first Test is out of the way - and there is plenty to be worried about... but sorta maybe plenty to like? - as the Wallabies went down 27-19 to the British & Irish Lions.

Well, that was a weekend and a half! The Waratahs surprised us all going down to the Lions and the Wallabies nearly went one step further in Newcastle against Fiji.

What do you get when five drunk men talk rugby in a gay bar?

Nick H, Nick W, Nath and Dylan meet at Bernie's Bar in Newcastle to discuss both games in a monster reaction, and are joined by RugbyPass' own Finn Morton as we approach the halfway point of the Lions tour.

So, the score was ugly... but did the Queensland Reds just show the Wallabies a potential way to defeat this imposing Lions side?

Nick W and Natho sit to discuss the Reds 52-12 loss to the Lions - and are joined by fellow pigeon and Scrumbags' own Lachie Grey.

The BIL didn't disappoint on Saturday night against the Force. But the Force stayed with them for quite a while in what I thought was an entertaining game. Next up for the Lions is the Queensland Reds, just four days after the Force match. Even for a large touring party, that's a stretch. Happy, Butz and I preview the match.

As always, we hope you enjoy.
