  • Garry Ringrose is ruled out of the third British and Irish Lions Test against Australia due to persistent concussion symptoms.
  • He sustained a head injury against the Brumbies and was withdrawn from the second Test after reporting lingering impacts during training.
  • Ringrose's absence means he will miss the opportunity to earn a Test cap on this tour, a significant blow for the player.
  • Assistant coach Andrew Goodman confirmed Ringrose's disappointment but highlighted his continued leadership and team support.
  • The Lions could see the return of Joe McCarthy, Mack Hansen, and Sione Tuipulotu, who trained fully, as they aim for a 3-0 series whitewash.
