From a Jack to a...LION KING

IRELAND'S Jack Conan has witnessed the worst of Lions tours and is now making the best of the current one in Australia.
The No.8 started all three Tests against the Springboks four years ago in front of no fans because of Covid and the ban on spectators.
One of the favourites to start in the opener against the Wallabies in Brisbane on Saturday, Conan was robbed of his moment, with friends and family absent from the stands as he ran out in Cape Town in 2021.
But the visiting fans started to swell in Adelaide last weekend for the 48-0 win over an AUNZ XV, and will help fill the 52,500 capacity stadium this weekend.
