Wallabies on the Up? Is this Lions Team Great? Tony Johnson talks International Rugby

On the DSPN, Martin Devlin chats with Tony Johnson about the British & Irish Lions 2-1 series win over Wallabies. TJ praises Australia's bounce back and performance in the third test, and feels this series was an opportunity that went begging, as the Lions were most certainly beatable. He questions the hype around this Lions squad, contrasting it with the iconic 1971 and 1974 teams. Marty and TJ unpack Will Skelton’s massive influence - and his likely absence from the Rugby Championship - plus coach Joe Schmidt’s looming selection dilemmas. The conversation shifts to Moana Pasifika losing stars to bigger teams, rugby’s future under threat from a possible breakaway competition, and why the Lions tour remains special for the sport.
