Matt Dawson column: ‘Lions need series whitewash to be celebrated for decades’

British and Irish lions won a test series and achieved something really special – but for this staff, they need to bleach Wallabies to be celebrated properly for decades.

How good is it compared to winning teams in 1989, 1997 and 2013?

Given the opposition, it is difficult to judge. Australia spent a few difficult years. One part of me, New Zealand or three high -density test matches in South Africa, wants to see the lions aside.

But you can only beat what is ahead of you, and even though Australia didn’t come in Brisbane, they made it in Melbourne and showed that it might be a very good Wallaby side.

Australia is currently level? Or was it an increase in performance arising from desperation? This weekend and the rest of the international season will learn much more about them.

On Saturday, a few hours later, Lions players gathered at the center of the field to think about what they had obtained in the sport, MCG.

Sitting there would be suitable dreams for these players, and during that night – even at 4 am – how they could take themselves to a lion status that was not made in a century.

Lions won all the test matches in a round in 1927 in Argentina. This is almost a century of history. They put it in a position to be remembered for the coming years.

The European RYDER Cup team won in Italy in 2023, and 12 of the victorious players sit at a press conference after they regained the cup.

Yes, it was great to win at home, but win a lot before winning at home. So Rory McILOY said that he quickly returned to New York, Bethpage, and later the chance to strengthen his legacy this year.

In a similar note, I hope Lions players tell each other at the beginning of this week: “If we win 3-0, we can be a suitable legendary side.”
