In Sydney, the third test match of rugby between Australia and the British and Irish Lions was interrupted due to a severe storm. The incident occurred on Saturday when the game was halted at halftime, with a score of 8-0 in favor of the Australian team.
The game was suspended after the serious injury of second-rower Lions James Ryan, who was evacuated from the field. Referee Nick Beashel decided to send the players to the changing rooms when the storm began at the stadium. On a large screen, an announcement appeared for spectators that they should remain in the first 19 rows, to ensure they keep their seats and find shelter in the lower concourses.
It was expected that the game would resume at 21:50 local time. The Lions are striving to become the first team since 1974 to finish the Australian tour without losses, aiming for a score of 8-0.
