'Lions can fire and give fans victory'

Derby Telegraph

July 17, 2025

RUGBY UNION Dan Sheehan insists a winning series against Australia is the best legacy his British and Irish Lions can leave behind.

The Lions are strong favourites to complete their first triumphant tour since 2013 when they toppled the Wallabies 2-1 and they enter Saturday's opening Test buoyed by a perfect record Down Under of five wins.

Fans will start streaming into Brisbane over the coming days and in the face of criticism in the Australian media that Andy Farrell's tourists have shown limited willingness to engage in community events, Sheehan declares winning is the only currency that matters.
