MARO Itoje has told his Lions to make their own history - starting on Saturday when the Test series against the Wallabies kicks off.

Skipper Itoje backed up Henry Pollock's claims that the tourists are after a 3-0 win, which has not been well received Down Under.

And Itoje (above) also stood behind Ben Earl's assertion that these Lions want to be known as the best ever by the time they fly back to Britain next month.

The Lions have a memory board in their team room with pictures of famous past players and their victories.

And Itoje has urged them to get themselves on the wall for the next batch of tourists who will travel to New Zealand in 2029.
