Lions v Australia live updates: Tourists look for 3-0 series win in Sydney
Australia have also made changes after their fightback came up short last weekend. Taniela Tupou is back at tighthead to add some power.
It will be needed given Rob Valetini, so impressive in Melbourne, is once again injured. Nic White starts at scrumhalf in his last international before retirement.
Will Skelton stays in but it remains to be seen how long he'll last given he was called ashore after 47 minutes last time out.

Let's start with the teams, because that's all we care about as Lions onlookers, right? How many blokes from my country are involved?
With Ireland, the answer is nine in the starting XV. The two changes (from an Irish perspective) are James Ryan starting at secondrow after his impressive bench cameo last week, while James Lowe is replaced on the wing by Blair Kinghorn.

With the series decided, Andy Farrell and co are in Sydney for the final game of this tour. The Lions want a series sweep, Australia are trying to salvage some pride. Well, pride on the series scoreboard after their sensational first half performance last week showed at least some backbone.

What time, TV channel is Dublin v Meath on today in the All-Ireland ladies Final
Dublin are the bookies' favourites here to repeat their Leinster Final victory over Meath at Croke Park. That afternoon, in the curtain raiser to the Meath versus Louth Leinster Final, Dublin finished strongly to pull away in the last quarter. In the lead up to this one Meath have dismissed the idea that fitness was the issue, but they certainly appeared to flag late on. They've had almost two months to work on the issues arising out of that one. An impressive dismissal of Tipperary was followed up by a six point All-Ireland semi-final victory over holders Kerry, that really announced the Royals as serious contenders again to regain a crown they last won in 2022. Dublin had to go to extra-time to defeat Galway in the All-Ireland semi-final. A lovely back heel flick goal by Carla Rowe helped them. Rowe and Hannah Tyrrell are two players that Meath will have to watch, but then Dublin also have to curb the threat of Vikki Wall and Emma Duggan. Many of the players on both sides have won All-Ireland medals at Croke Park so they know what it's all about. It could come down to how the younger stars on both sides embrace the day. We saw Cork freeze when the screw was turned in the hurling final and Donegal start very slowly to trail by 0-12 to 0-4 against Kerry after 16 minutes of the men's football decider. So a fast start and staying with the game through sticky patches is vital. The teams looks evenly matched and with the way Meath dismissed Kerry and their star quality up front it looks a real 50/50 game with very little between the sides. Where is the game being played? The game is being played at Croke Park What time is throw-in? Throw in is at 4.15pm Can I watch the game on TV? The game is live on TG4 Is the game being streamed online? Yes, the game will be live streamed on TG4 Betting Odds: Dublin: 8/13 Draw: 8/1 Meath: 17/10
