It’s Test Week. At last.
The tour has been limping along– but now it’s time for the main event. The first showdown between the British & Irish Lions and the Wallabies is here, and Rugby Unity is on the frontlines.
Joining host David Pembroke are former Wallaby Ben Alexander and RugbyPass journalist Finn Morton for a midweek deep dive into latest news and views before Saturday’s match.
The trio break down:
· Australia’s surprise fly-half pick and what it says about Joe Schmidt’s game plan
· The Lions’ internal belief they could be “the greatest touring side of all time”
· What losing Skelton and Valetini will mean for Wallaby momentum
· Joseph Sua'ali'i’s moment to become a global superstar – or fade under the high ball
· And why the success of this series hinges on authentic crowd energy, not marketing spin
It’s not just about tactics and team sheets. It’s about belief. About history. About fans in gold showing up and getting loud.
If the Wallabies don’t win in Brisbane, the series might be over before it starts.
What does it really take to ignite Australian rugby? Maybe the answer lies not just in the coaching box or player huddles – but in the stands.
