The party have made headlines down under with comments from Henry Pollock claiming a 3-0 whitewash of the Wallabies is on the table in the series.

And Ben Earl said last week this squad wanted to be known as one of the best Lions teams ever - which wound up ex-Australia fullback Chris Latham, who branded Andy Farrell's men cocky.

Latham said the Wallabies will be more fired up than usual come kickoff for Saturday's first Test here in Brisbane and Leinster's Sheehan believes the Lions have to deliver on their promise.
