Apologies for audio in first half of this, entirely my fault. But your questions answered + why all hope is not lost for the Wallabies. Not long to go now.

First look inside Suncorp Stadium, aka Lang Park, as crowd continues to roll in. Caxton was heaving, glorious might. Perfect conditions for footy. Upset beckons? #AUSvLIO

Pretty electric pre-game tonight. Best I’ve seen at a rugby game easily in Australia, and right up there with any in the world. #AUSvLIO

Wallaby whackers: The Lions holding Australia to a paltry 79 first-half run metres told the story of the first Test. This one was done if not at the break, then with Sheehan's try immediately after it. Paging Bobby V. #AUSvLIO espn.com.au/rugby/story/_/…

Full Brisbane debrief. What changes need to be made? And the O'Keeffe fumble worse than three dubious Lions tackles. Expecting a far different contest in Melbourne.

Physicality, standing up for your teammates… just a few lessons there for the Wallabies. Bravo to everyone involved in First Nations-Pasifika, those boys had a proper crack.

Recording pre-second Test pod from the Melbourne ESPN Schmidthouse later this arvo. Wallabies team drops at 1:30, hit Christy Doran with your questions, thoughts and hot takes thereafter or now!

Pod live from the 25th floor overlooking the ‘G! So much to unpack from today’s pressers. Give it a listen in the run-up to KO!

Gotta give it to the Victorians, she’s a helluva arena. The ‘G all in readiness for Saturday’s second Test. Wallabies by 2. #AUSvLIO #LionsTour2025

Here's my take on clean-out gate. I'm not saying it's the right one. But the pursuit of head contact/foul play perfection got us here. espn.com.au/rugby/story/_/…

Has Harry Wilson been afforded the same level of respect as Maro Itoje? Would the Wallabies have got more of the 50/50s with a more seasoned skipper? Christy Doran and I on this week’s pod ⬇️
