Lions put the series markers and lightness to victory over Australia in the first test Lions Tour 2025

The first test is guaranteed not to win a series, but Australia is already stuck on the fingernails. In the evidence of this competition, it will take something remarkable to end the Lions in Melbourne next Saturday, and with thousands of traveling fans who cheer on, Andy Farrell's team has a firm control of her own fate.

There were moments in the first half when the lions were so dominant that it felt comparable to thundered through the outback and scattered everything like bowling in sight. They couldn't maintain it, but the dominance of the visitors in the first 50 minutes was that the winning margin should be wider. From Finn Russell's acidic brilliance to Tom Curry's relentless attack, the lions in the most important areas were a cut.

The last half hour was increased by her bank. There was no doubt about the winners from a relatively early phase and attempts by Sione Tuipulotu, Curry and Dan Sheehan ensured that the Lions were at home and were hidden until the beginning of the second half.

The home team was held at least by the loss of the Lions against the rhythm in the second half, but they were 24-5 in the 41st minute. You should now be able to regain the powerful Rob Valetini and Skelton, but if you end the debate about the future form of Lions tours through Australia in the MCG in the second test at the MCG.

Nevertheless, they try to tell the thousands of Lions fans with red-protected Lions on site that winning in Australia will ever lose its shine. Before the game, which occasionally went gold through the hordes in the Caxton Street, was the only indication that another team might be involved. The now known red sea was in danger of becoming an ocean, and it was the same in the stadium.

To have every chance, the Wallabies had to find a way to silence the Red Army as soon as possible. And to avoid the kind of self -inflicted howls, which, as David Campese can testify, can influence the greatest occasions. They expect his genius without Russell, who never needs the permission of his opponents.

After the fly half had rewarded a turnover forced by TadHG Beirne to reward sales, it continued to give up his intentions with a nice load to a charging-Shehan. The lions rumbled in the direction of the line and with stretched defense, another beautiful long ball from Russell Tuipulotu judged the simplest run-ins. The Center predisposed by Frankston absolutely wanted to be part of this tour back to his homeland to be just that moment.

Worse seemed to follow the wallabies when James Lowe escaped Max Jorgenensen's claws on the left and Huw Jones seemed to have achieved his team's second attempt. Fortunately for the hosts, it was excluded because Jones was still held as a fractional when he rolled out from Jorgensensen's desperate cover tackle.

Even without them, the Lions still had a 10-point pillow and the Wallabies clung to every respect. Without Valetini, they found it difficult to make gainline jackets, and nothing came easy. It was a considerable bonus when Hugo Keenan von Jorgensen was painted by a high ball and the wing stole out to bring Australia late to the board.

However, the balance of the game was overwhelming with the lions. They won the power struggle and had a few decent opportunities before they tried their second attempt. This time it was curry that gives the finishing touches up close to limit a typical influential half of the rugby.

The second half was only a minute old when the Lions scored a goal again, a nice line of attack by Jones and Curry's passport, which Schleehan put in the right corner. The Wallabies reacted almost through Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, just so that the referee excludes this for Jones' earlier non-fidelity for not different reasons.

At this point, the chances of the lions, which only achieved another penalty of Marcus Smith as a replacement for Russell, who left the fight after 66 minutes with a cramp. The lions wanted their bank to deliver more momentum, but the Wallabies seemed to be supplied with energy by some of their spare parts.

Nevertheless, Harry Potter in the left corner had to miss until the last seven minutes for Carlo Tizzano and Tate McDermott to give the final goal line a touch of visibility. The Lions, for which Beirne, Ellis Geng, Jamison Gibson-Park and Tuipulotu have further improved their reputation, will not want this pattern to be repeated in Melbourne and will also be aware that no series will ever go completely smoothly.

In 2001 they won the first test in Brisbane to lose the last two tests. The last time in South Africa, just when they felt that they had an advantage, the same thing happened. The chief takaway of this still in Brisbane evening dash evening will be the superiority of the lions in the first half and not the waste in the second half. While both sides will probably be better for this runout, Farrell's lions are now in the pole position and seem to have more in the tank.
