Andy Farrell says it would "mean the world" to the British and Irish Lions if they were able to earn a series whitewash over Australia on Saturday.

The Lions have already won the series, with a dramatic 29-26 win over the Wallabies last Saturday, following up a 27-19 victory in the first Test.

Farrell's side scored five tries in the second Test against Australia, their joint-most ever in a Test match and their most since scoring five v South Africa in 1974; in fact, their eight tries this year are already their most in a Test series since 1974 (10 in four).

The Lions are bidding to become the first team to win three Tests in a row since 1974 in South Africa, while they are looking for their first clean sweep in a series since 1927 in Argentina (4-0).

Farrell has opted to make just two changes to his line-up for the third and final Test, keeping his side strong as he hopes to finish on a high.

"As you can imagine, it [a 3-0 series win] would mean the world to us," he told Sky Sports.

"It's something we promised ourselves we were going to chase after and try our best to represent the group as best we possibly can do.

"What goes along with that is representing the journey and brand of the British and Irish Lions, so we have a big responsibility this weekend.

"These lads have been training their whole life for these moments, and do you know what's been the most impressive thing about these people? Just how much they care.

"How much they care about the Lions, the Lions' dream, and how much it means to them. When you package it all up together and what it takes to come together as a top-class outfit, as far as a group of teams are concerned, that's about it."

Australia came within seconds of earning a win to level the series in Melbourne last Saturday, only to miss out to Hugo Keenan's late try.

The Wallabies have struggled for form in recent years and have dropped to sixth in the world rankings, causing some to question whether they should be kept on as future hosts of the Lions side's tours.

Australia form part of a four-year rotation with New Zealand and South Africa as Lions destinations, with tours to each country taking place every 12 years.

Argentina and France have been thrown into the conversation, and are reportedly keen to face the Lions, but Farrell shut down any talk of the current set-up changing.

"I don't think it was ever on the agenda [Australia being removed as future Lions hosts], in my opinion," Farrell told written media in Sydney.

"It would be tragic for us not to tour here. We've had a blast, and to me, it's insulting to even talk about it in that type of way.

"Every single team, country, province has their ups and downs, but Australia, with the sporting nation they are, are always going to come back.

"That performance [at the MCG] on the weekend was no surprise to us, and that's why we expect them to be better on Saturday.

"Have a look at the year they've got coming up. They're going to be a force to be reckoned with 100 per cent, through all their experiences, come the World Cup in 2027."
