Am I alone in being disappointed that British and Irish Lions head coach Andy Farrell is sending out virtually the same team for the third Test against Australia as the one that won last week’s second, for the supposed sacred prize of a 3-0 clean sweep of Test matches?
I don’t believe most British rugby fans are as obsessed with that as Farrell. He appears to think a “redwash,” as it has been called by some after the Lions’ red shirts, over Australia, will elevate him and his Lions to the status of South African Springbok or New Zealand All Black conquerors.
