VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, JUL 26 – The Wallabies must win to stay competitive in the three-Test series against the British & Irish Lions, with over 90,000 fans expected at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
- Australia aims to keep the series alive when they take on the British & Irish Lions this Saturday evening at the iconic venue in Melbourne, following their 27-19 loss in the opening Test in Brisbane.
