Episode Ep 3315: Lions Win Series But Search For Soul, Lightning Illuminates, Woakes Heroics In Vain - 04/08/25

0:00 56:51

The Lions return triumphant from the 2025 tour of Australia with a 2-1 series victory... but was that the bare minimum? Shane Horgan and Gareth Rhys Owen of the BBC's Scrum V are on the show this Bank Holiday Monday to review why the Lions ran out of steam on Saturday's third test.

We discuss whether Andy Farrell returns to Ireland with his reputation enhanced, which Irish players have grown or wilted during this tour, and how good or bad this Australian team really are.

We also discuss how to spend a 30-minute storm delay, and the insane final moments of the fifth day of the fifth test between England and India which included some heroics from Woakes and an incredibly tight finish.
