How to print all lines matching the first field of last line

Question

I've been trying to do this for the last two days. I read a lot of tutorials and I learned a lot of new things but so far I couldn't manage to achieve what I'm trying to do. Let's say this is the command line output:

Johnny123   US  224
Johnny123   US  145
Johnny123   US  555
Johnny123   US  344
Robert  UK  4322
Robert  UK  52
Lucas   FR  344
Lucas   FR  222
Lucas   FR  8945

I want to print the lines which match 'the first field (Lucas) of last line'.

So, I want to print out:

Lucas   FR  344
Lucas   FR  222
Lucas   FR  8945

Notes:

• What I'm trying to print have a different line count each time so I can't do something like returning the last 3 lines only.
• The first field doesn't have a specific pattern that I can use to print.

Answer 1

Here is another way using tac and awk:

tac file | awk 'NR==1{last=$1}$1==last' | tac
Lucas   FR  344
Lucas   FR  222
Lucas   FR  8945

The last tac is only needed if the order is important.
