90,000 fans. Five tries to three. One of the great modern Test matches — but the Wallabies came up just short.

In this episode, David Pembroke is joined once again by Ewen McKenzie and Eddie Jones to break down every angle of the second Lions Test in Melbourne. They cover what went right (and what went wrong) for Australia, dissect the Wallabies’ dominant opening 30 minutes, and explain how the game slipped away.

From missed chances and controversial cleanouts to the importance of tactical discipline, substitutions, and senior leadership — it’s all here. The trio also look ahead to the third Test in Sydney: What changes should be made? Can the Wallabies build on that performance — and prove it wasn’t just a flash of promise?

Also in this episode:

• Why “simple is hard”: the Wallabies’ drift from discipline and structure
• The key tactical mistake that cost Australia momentum
• Skelton, Valetini and the impact of bench rotations
• Controversial refereeing: fair call or game changer?
• What needs to change for the third Test in Sydney
