The British & Irish Lions can secure a Test series victory for the first time since 2013 when they take on Australia in Melbourne this Saturday.
Andy Farrell’s Lions claimed a brilliant 27-19 win over the Wallabies last weekend.
The scoreline somewhat flattered the hosts too with the Lions taking their foot off the pedal as the Aussies came back into the game late on at Lang Park in Brisbane.
But Farrell will be determined to make sure his men refocus quickly and avoid giving Australia any hope in the second Test.
Should Joe Schmidt’s side pull off a victory, a Third Test decider in Sydney would await next weekend.

Farrell has braced his Lions for a backlash coming from Australia.
“We do take encouragement from the display, but at the same time we know what is coming,” head coach Farrell said.
“We know what happened in the second half here and we roll into the second game knowing full well what happened in 2013.
“When an Australia team becomes desperate, it is difficult to handle, so we expect a different game next weekend.
“Not only was this Australia’s second game and they’ll be much better because of that, but also because of what it means to them and how proud they are. It’ll mean the world to them.
“We need to make sure we are ready for them to be at their best. It will take a better performance than what we’ve shown here to make sure we get a win.”
