The British and Irish Lions, under the leadership of Andy Farrell, are poised to make history as they aim to become the first team in nearly 100 years to complete a Test whitewash. With a 2-0 lead in the series, the Lions are set to face Australia in the third and final Test this Saturday. A victory would not only secure the series but also mark the first time since 1974 that the Lions have gone unbeaten throughout an entire tour, and the first time since 1927 that they have won every Test match.

Aiming for Perfection

Forwards coach John Dalziel emphasized the team's determination, stating, "The job isn't done in any shape or form. We've got a really motivated group that have set their stall out. There's only one way that we want this to end and that's to go unbeaten and to try and win 3-0. We don't want anything to derail it."

Challenges Ahead

Despite their dominant performances in the first two Tests, Farrell has warned his team not to become complacent. "We know it is going to be incredibly hard work and Australia showed that last week. They are a good side and they are going to be good again. They are going to be motivated playing here," he said.

Key Players to Watch

One of the standout players for the Lions has been Finn Russell, the Scotland fly-half. Russell has been instrumental in orchestrating the team's attacks, forming a creative partnership with Ireland's Jamison Gibson-Park. Dalziel praised Russell's maturity and adaptability, noting, "Finn's maturing all the time. A lot of players like him get criticism for not being able to play different styles. But here, where we are pulling four nations together, he has delivered a gameplan while also being himself. That's why he was picked and why he's world class."

Wing Tommy Freeman missed Friday's eve-of-match training run at Accor Stadium due to his overall workload for the tour, but Dalziel stressed there is no concern over his fitness. The Lions are expected to field a strong lineup as they look to cap off their tour with a historic victory.
