02/08/2025 Australia v British Lions
How the series ended, why it mattered, and where to get the match programme
If you followed the 2025 tour, you’ll know this final Test in Sydney had a bit of everything. Rain that lashed sideways. A lightning delay. Bodies on the line. And, in the end, Australia took a deserved win to prevent a clean sweep. It was gripping rugby and a proper finale for a huge travelling support.
Before we get into the detail, if you collect match programmes or you were there on the day, I’ve got the official Australia v British & Irish Lions (02/08/2025) programme available. It’s in great condition and it’s exactly the sort of piece that anchors a memory on the shelf rather than letting it slip away into “I’ll find it later.”
