Kinghorn, Ryan promoted as Lions chase Wallabies sweep
Scotland's Blair Kinghorn replaces James Lowe on the left wing and Irishman James Ryan replaces Ollie Chessum in the second row for the third Test in Sydney on Saturday night.
Ryan become skipper Maro Itoje's third different starting Test partner in the second-row, Chessum and Joe McCarthy being the others.
Chessum drops to a bench that has a six-two split between forwards and backs. Lowe, who has not played to his usual high standard, is out of the squad entirely.
Owen Farrell and Alex Mitchell are the two backs on the bench, Farrell covering 10 and 12.
Jac Morgan, who made the controversial clean out before the Lions' match-winning, last-gasp try in the second Test at the MCG, is again poised to come off the bench, with Tom Curry retained in the No.7 starting role.
The line-up means 11 players have been chosen to start all three Tests.
Farrell's men are aiming to be the first Lions squad to record an unbeaten tour since the 1974 outfit, which finished with a 13-13 draw in the third Test against the Springboks, and the first to sweep a three-Test series since the lopsided victories in Argentina in 1927.
"We have put ourselves in position to finish this tour with our best performance to date and create our own piece of history," Farrell said. "Last weekend's Test match was an increadible spectacle. We are expecting another epic battle this weekend."
Hooker Dan Sheehan is starting again alongside Irish teammate Tadhg Furlong, who is starting his ninth consecutive Lions Test, and said before the squad was announced that there'd be no relenting from the tourists.
"We've always been pretty clear on our goals — to go unbeaten overseas and win the series 3-0," he said. "So we just need to stick to what we said."
For the Lions, the halves pairing of Finn Russell and Jamison Gibson-Park has been pivotal to their success in both Tests so far, along with a consistent backrow featuring No. 8 Jack Conan and flankers Curry and Tadhg Beirne.
In 2001 and 2013 the Lions lost in Melbourne after winning the first match of a three-Test series against the Wallabies and those series went to a decider in Sydney. A sweep is on the minds of both teams this time in what will be a sold-out Accor Stadium.
British and Irish Lions: Hugo Keenan (Ireland), Tommy Freeman (England), Huw Jones (Scotland), Bundee Aki (Ireland), Blair Kinghorn (Scotland), Finn Russell (Scotland), Jamison Gibson-Park (Ireland); Jack Conan (Ireland), Tom Curry (England), Tadhg Beirne (Ireland), James Ryan (Ireland), Maro Itoje (England, captain), Tadhg Furlong (Ireland), Dan Sheehan (Ireland), Andrew Porter (Ireland). Reserves: Ronan Kelleher (Ireland), Ellis Genge (England). Will Stuart (England), Ollie Chessum (England), Jac Morgan (Wales), Ben Earl (England), Alex Mitchell (England), Owen Farrell (England).

From economy to equality: Wallaroos take off for World Cup
The Wallaroos will fly business class to the 2025 World Cup for the first time, marking a significant milestone two years after the players publicly criticised Rugby Australia for second-rate treatment. The squad collectively penned a social media post highlighting a lack of support, including flying economy and the absence of a full-time coach, in comparison to the Wallabies. Former England international Jo Yapp was appointed as the Wallaroos' first full-time coach in February 2024 and believes that improved travel conditions are essential to help her 32-player squad compete in a tough pool that includes England, the United States and Samoa. 'Going business class has huge performance implications, because it allows us to hit the ground running earlier when we arrive,' Yapp said. 'But also how it makes the players feel from a mental and a value perspective, I think that also has a massive impact, which is no more than they deserve. 'They're going to a World Cup, and they've been training exceptionally hard, so feeling valued is also a massive thing.' Emily Chancellor captained the Wallaroos in Friday's 36-5 win over Wales at North Sydney Oval and is proud of the journey the team has been on since she joined the squad a decade ago. 'It's a huge statement from Rugby Australia and World Rugby to invest in us and I think for the Kiwi girls to also fly business class because of the length of the trip, and I hope it's going to have a really great positive impact on the players' feeling of worth but also on performance,' Chancellor said.

Lions star Bundee Aki shares extraordinary news of wife's road-trip birth hours before Wallabies clash
British and Irish Lions star Bundee Aki has revealed he learned about the extraordinary birth of his fifth child on a video call hours before the first Test against the Wallabies. The New Zealand-born star went eight weeks without seeing his family to commit to the Lions tour, which began with a camp in Portugal. And while he was away the family grew by one when wife Kayla — by now past her due date — gave birth in a car during a road trip to the hospital in Auckland. Aki dropped the news in one of the last press conferences of the tour following the Lions' defeat in the final match in Sydney last Saturday. 'I want to enjoy my break, my family time,' he said. 'I haven't seen my family for eight weeks. I have a newborn child who I haven't met yet. 'Credit to my wife. She's a powerful woman, a strong woman. I have to say it to her. If you only knew the story of what happened, it's a funny story in itself.' Having stunned reporters who might have expected to have found out much sooner, Aki shared how the birth played out. 'It was a good day. I was in the hotel, I knew we were overdue. The missus calls me and she's like 'water hasn't broke but I'm going to the hospital, I'm feeling contractions'. 'I go 'yeah, fair enough'. She goes to the hospital, we're getting ready for the team meeting pre-match, and then she calls me and says she's on the way to the hospital, so I said 'fine, be safe'. 'Five minutes later, she sends a photo, her water broke. I was like 'cool, OK, are you almost there?' 'This is like 30 or 40 minutes away from the hospital, so I said 'you'll be all right, Mum is there'. 'Ten minutes later, she video-calls me and I was like 's***, what's going on?' 'I saw a baby on the video call, so she had it in the car on the way to the hospital. They're both strong and healthy, so happy days.' Aki came off the bench in the second half to contribute to the Lions' 27-19 win over the Wallabies in Brisbane. 'I knew it was good juju so I knew we were going to have a good day,' he said. The newborn is named Aine, joining sisters Armani, Adrianna, Ailbhe and brother Adronicus. 'I'm looking forward to going and meeting her,' Aki said. Aki debuted in Super Rugby in 2013 before moving to Ireland the following year, representing the country since 2017.
