British and Irish Lions 2025: Andy Farrell considers squad for second Test v Australia

On Tuesday night, in half of his post -match conversation at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Andy Farrell really gave the address of British and Irish lions against Australia in the test on Saturday for the first time in this tour.
Melbourne cricket area. A crowd more than 85,000. The chance to win the series and put their names in the history of Lions.
Lions coach Farrell, “If you can’t get up to the future, we’re all in the wrong place.” He said. “In my opinion, this is the biggest game of our lives, each of us.”
Considering the magnitude of some of the competitions in which these players emerged over the years, a statement, but there was no doubt that Farrell’s sincerity. This is big enough.
McG is not just a sports stadium, but a palace sitting on the holy ground. Even when it is empty, gobsmacking. When it is full or almost full, it will be a very important place on Saturday night when Lions went there.
But what lions? I’m out of the camp, this trip showing a great performance Joe McCarthy and a good player in the first test, will not be suitable for Saturday. McCarthy did not receive training all week.
Farrell said he would see how the Irish lock was on Thursday, but the team would be called until then. Unfortunately, it’s too late for Big Joe.
The word, at the same time, is that if everything was equal, Mack Hansen, a strong contestant for the counter, would not be able to achieve. Farrell said that Hansen had a question about whether the foot injury is progressing, but later progressing fast enough. A rhetoric question, you feel.
