The British & Irish Lions have sealed the Test Series of their 2025 Tour of Australia, winning a Melbourne Cricket Ground thriller in the 80th minute, and all in front of a record crowd for a Lions Test. And with so much to go through it was timely that The Telegraph’s Charlie Morgan joined Brett McKay & Harry Jones on The 8/9 Combo Rugby Podcast.

And with so many moments to get into and analyse and dissect, Harry also decide this was the week to create the first Rugby Writer’s Colloquium, in which he peeled out highlight’s Charlie’s great analysis this week, and Brett’s column for RugbyPass, and read it back to them! But it provided the perfect way to get into so many more of the moments that seem to have been lost in all the debate about whether or not there was a penalty in the last ruck of the match.
