Wallabies Recall Tupou, Give White Farewell Start Against Lions in Sydney

The Wallabies have made four changes to their lineup for the third and final Test against the British and Irish Lions in Sydney, aiming to prevent a series whitewash after their 2-0 deficit. Nic White will make his 73rd and final international appearance following his retirement announcement, replacing Jake Gordon at scrum-half, while Taniela Tupou returns to the starting tighthead prop position due to Allan Alaalatoa's shoulder injury. Tom Hooper replaces the injured Rob Valetini at blindside flanker, and Dylan Pietsch steps in for the hamstring-injured Harry Potter on the left wing. Coach Joe Schmidt acknowledged the team's deflation after the second Test loss but expressed confidence in their regained momentum and readiness for the high-pressure match. The Lions have dominated the tour so far with eight consecutive wins, including victories over Super Rugby franchises and invitational teams. The Wallabies are playing for pride as the Lions seek a clean sweep in the series.
