Jack Conan reveals video from Katie Taylor inspired Lions before second Test win
Jack Conan has revealed that an inspiring video from Irish boxing great Katie Taylor helped the British and Irish Lions find the resilience needed to close out their series against Australia. Taylor, an Olympic gold medal winner and current undisputed world super lightweight champion, sent the good luck message to Andy Farrell's squad in the build-up to Saturday's second Test at Melbourne Cricket Club. The 39-year-old's words on the ability to dig deep turned out to be prophetic as the Lions emerged 29-26 winners after fighting back from an 18-point deficit. 'The video was unbelievably poignant and powerful. It spoke about being prepared to win with skill, but also being ready to win by will,' said Ireland number eight Conan, who like Taylor hails from Bray in County Wicklow. 'That was something that was massively summed up in the game because we were not at our best at all. 'It's huge because she comes from the town I'm from. I'm incredibly proud of where I come from and I know Katie is as well. 'She's gone on to achieve incredible feats in the boxing world. To be such a superstar, incredibly humble and driven is something that we leant on as well because we knew that Australia are a hugely proud nation and they showed it in spades. 'Everyone loved it, even the English and the Scottish boys and the Welsh boy – it resonated with everyone. It was unbelievably poignant, it was class. It really hit home for us.' It took a beautifully-taken try by Hugo Keenan with 51 seconds remaining to separate the rivals in one of the greatest Lions matches ever played. Remarkably, Keenan's touchdown was the first time they led in the match. Conan admits that victory tastes all the sweeter for having been taken to the wire as Australia raised their game to a whole new level a week after starting the series with a whimper in Brisbane. 'We were not at our best by any measure, but physically the lads dug in unbelievably well,' he said. 'It was disappointing how we played, but we played for 80 minutes. Hugo getting over the line in the last minute was just unbelievable. 'It wasn't my best game. A lot of us weren't at the races at all, but we stuck in there. You can't fault the effort. I thought the defensive sets we put in, just whacking people and just staying in there, was unbelievable. 'It's something that will go down in history. They won't be writing the history books about how s*** we were, but they'll say that we won and that's all that matters. 'Everyone's over the moon. To be part of a Lions winning series team is incredibly special. The celebrations in the changing room wouldn't have been the same if we'd won by 20.'

Gethin Jones suffering after witnessing 'absolute spectacle' while on break from BBC Morning Live
Welsh TV presenter Gethin Jones has admitted he's 'feeling a bit dusty' after what he described as an unforgettable night for Welsh sport, watching two huge wins unfold back-to-back. The BBC Morning Live star is currently in Melbourne, where he caught both the Wales Women's rugby victory over Australia and the British & Irish Lions' dramatic series-clinching win at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) - a night he dubbed an 'absolute spectacle'. Taking to Instagram, Gethin shared his excitement and also hinted at the celebrations that followed. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter READ MORE: Harry Redknapp's wife Sandra, 78, hospitalised READ MORE: John Torode gives update on marriage with Lisa Faulkner, admits 'changes' He wrote: 'What a night in Melbourne. Watching the women's @welshrugbyunion beat Australia… and then the absolute spectacle at the @mcg – @britishandirishlions clinch the series in dramatic fashion! 'Hats off them! (Wish I had) A bit dusty this morning!' Their win was partly down to Jac Morgan, who helped secure their dramatic win by clearing out Australia's Carlo Tizzano at the breakdown in the dying moments, allowing the team to retain possession and set up Hugo Keenan's match-winning try. You can read more about this here. Gethin is a passionate supporter of Welsh sport and often shares updates from matches, training camps, and major fixtures. But even by his own standards, Saturday night seemed like a night to remember, as Wales Women also stunned the Wallaroos in a nail biting game before the Lions sealed their series. Gethin shared a picture of himself in the crowd alongside some friends, as well as a selfie taken in a bar, with him and two others all beaming at the camera. It's been a busy week for the Welsh presenter, as he visited Cardiff just a few weeks ago to talk about his new role as the Chef de Mission for Team Wales ahead of the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Speaking about his latest venture, he said: 'To be trusted in this role is a huge responsibility and the focus I've seen in the last few months since I've come on board has been mind-blowing. 'Everyone striving for excellence from performance to organisational operations and everything in between has been amazing.' He continued: 'When I see someone achieve their very best performance, when it really matters under pressure, that's what inspires me. 'That will go with us into Glasgow, and of course as it has been the case for the last few cycles as well, what truly matters is how we hold ourselves.'

Joan Anderson, Unsung Heroine of Hula Hoop History, Dies at 101
In 1956, Joan Anderson, a Los Angeles housewife and onetime model, flew to Australia, her home country, to visit her parents. When she arrived, she realized that a curious fitness craze had taken hold. 'Everywhere I would go, everybody was giggling,' Ms. Anderson said in 'Hula Girl,' a 2018 documentary. 'I asked what was going on and they said, 'Oh, everyone's doing the hoop.'' The 'hoop,' she discovered, was an exercise ring, made of wood, that was swiveled around the waist and hips. 'Everyone was having such fun,' she added, 'I thought, 'I'd like to do that, too.'' Back in Los Angeles, Ms. Anderson asked her mother to mail her one of the rings from Australia, and it soon brought joy to the Anderson household. Her children played with it. Ms. Anderson swerved it around her hips for friends at dinner parties. When someone told her that it looked as if she was 'doing the hula,' the traditional Hawaiian dance, Ms. Anderson was struck with inspiration. She named the object the hula hoop. What transpired next would place Ms. Anderson at the center of what she described as an American tale of shattered dreams and promises, a business deal made on a handshake, and, eventually, a lawsuit.
