British & Irish Lions centre, Garry Ringrose, will miss the final test against Australia as he adheres to the concussion protocols. His absence was confirmed after he experienced concussion symptoms during training last week. The third test, scheduled for this weekend, marks a missed opportunity for Ringrose, who hoped to solidify his legacy as a test match Lion.
Assistant coach Andrew Goodman expressed the widespread disappointment among teammates, acknowledging Ringrose's significant contributions and leadership throughout the tour. The 30-year-old's dreams were dashed as this match was seen as his last realistic chance to play a test for the Lions, driving the emotional weight of the situation.
While Ringrose steps back to recover, other sidelined players, such as Mack Hansen, Joe McCarthy, and Sione Tuipulotu, have rejoined training. Their return to the field brings hope for the Lions as they prepare for Saturday's challenge at Stadium Australia.
