Dan: Lions aim to roar with Aussie whitewash

Now that the celebrations for securing an unassailable 2-0 series lead have subsided, the Lions have hardened their resolve to sign off their expedition Down Under with a 100% record.

If they triumph at Sydney’s Accor Stadium on Saturday, they will become the first Lions side in almost a century to win every Test.

A dramatic 29-26 victory in Melbourne has placed Andy Farrell’s men on the brink of greatness, but Sheehan admits the review of the second Test was “not pretty watching for a lot of it.

“It would be disappointing if we didn’t show up on Saturday,” said the Ireland hooker.
