British and Irish Lions Tour 2025 - Australia

Has anyone ever taught Farrell how to tackle? Every time I see him play, which isn’t that often to be fair, he just seems to try and barge the player over - no arm wrap or anything. This means that 9 out of 10 times he just bounces off backwards. Terrible technique.

He's always a sin bin waiting to happen.
 
That was a fantastic game for the fans. Last minute win to seal a series is always box office.

Hope Farrel gives caps to the rest of the squad now. Each player on tour deserves a Lions cap and he has the opportunity to give that to them

His tackling is definitely suspect but his game management and rugby acumen are blooming good. Should have been in the squad from day 1 really.

A bit peeved that Farrell has not made more changes to the match day squad for the last test. Series in the bag and 3-0 means the same as 2-1 in the history books. The lads who dirt tracked should have been given a go.

Don’t think he could have won either way

A whitewash is rare so it’s a great chance

But there are lads that should have been in the team

Totally agree, winning the series is the number one goal and once achieved giving the other guys a run out in what may be their only Lions tour should be a given.
It’s not like they are not all top players or kids there for the experience of a tour as you may get with a club side touring.
 
He picked them because they are good players. Then he doesn’t give them the chance when there is nothing on the line. Bit of a slap in the face for those boys.
