Taylor's fighting talk inspires tourists
Olympic gold medallist and undisputed world super lightweight champion Taylor urged the touring party to dig deep in a good luck message before the second Test in Melbourne.
The Lions took heed of Taylor's encouragement after overturning an 18-point deficit to win 29-26.
"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.
"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."

Rookie Ahmed Hassanein feeling 'surreal' to share NFL jersey with father
Ahmed Hassanein has a great attitude. Said he FaceTimed his dad and told him,'We're here.''I just wanna keep growing and I really wanna prove myself for this team.' One of the best stories from the 2025 NFL Draft involves Lions 6th-round EDGE Ahmed Hassanein, who spent part of his life in Egypt, came back to the States, learned football and made a name for himself while at Boise State. He's now had his first taste of NFL action and couldn't be more excited. And who did he share that excitement with? None other than his father. After the Hall of Fame Game, Hassanein told reporters he FaceTimed his dad and told him, "We're here." Hassanein said he always calls his dad before each game and calls his wife to pray before each game. He called it "surreal" to be able to call his dad and have the NFL emblem on his jersey. Hassanein has been flashing throughout camp. That continued during the Hall of Fame Game Thursday, as the rookie recorded four tackles and showed strong promise stopping the run. The rookie spoke on that as well after the game. "Coach Shep always says to establish the violence of the game, and the nature of the game," Hassanein said. "You have to earn the right to pass rush. If you stop the run, you're going to earn the right to pass rush and earn the right to go get the quarterback. But I feel like this is Step 1, doing my job, being in my gap, making plays. And then I earn the right." Early on, Hassanein has been earning that right. With continued development, he'll be after the quarterback plenty after stopping the run. The Lions have to be feeling very good about their 6th-round rookie.

The key quality behind Andy Farrell's selection for third Lions Test
Spare a thought for the travelling loved ones of the collection of British and Irish Lions who have spent the Test series with a watching brief. The pride will not at all be dimmed for those fans in question, and there has been plenty to enjoy about their kin's contributions to a trip upon which history is within reach, but it is a long way to come for family and friends to not see them feature. But perhaps that is an overly cynical view – and it is certainly not one shared by the wider squad. Four fewer (27) players have featured in this Test series than four years ago in South Africa, but the buy-in from each and every member of a bloated travelling party has been, according to Andy Farrell, outstanding. 'We all came together from day one and said it's not just about the [match-day] squad, the only thing that matters is the squad and that's it, full stop,' the Lions head coach explained. 'Every single one of us, there's been no separation, we've all trained together, it doesn't matter whether you've played the day before or whatever, you've always helped the next team that's going out there. The modern-day game is always about the 23 that take the field, not the 15 any more, but it's way beyond that for us. It was about the 38 or the 41 or the 44, whichever way you want to look at it.' It cannot have been easy for those on the outside to look in at each squad unveiling – some frustration, perhaps even anger, is natural. For a Farrell stalwart like Josh van der Flier, who never misses a game when fit for Ireland, these might have been particularly tricky weeks with Tom Curry, Jac Morgan and Ben Earl ahead in a brutal pecking order of prized fighting hens. There is a thought, meanwhile, that Fin Smith remains Farrell's second choice as a pure fly-half were misfortune to strike Finn Russell, and yet the Scot's unimpeachable form and the versatility offered by Marcus Smith and Owen Farrell have meant that he will have to wait four more years at least to pull on a Test jersey. Yet the Northampton youngster has been spoken about as a key character in running the opposition side in training with the intensity and accuracy required to properly prepare the Test team. And on Saturday night, with the series won, it was he and some of the other non-playing reserves leading the celebration charge. 'You come in after such a big victory on Saturday night, and I just left them to it because I couldn't get a word in. The ones that were celebrating most were the ones who hadn't put the shirt on. It says it all, to be honest. It actually touches you. It does. It touches you in the sense of how much it means to them.' Perhaps that collective buy-in is why Farrell has felt able to rotate minimally as his side go in search of a 3-0 whitewash. The insertion of Blair Kinghorn comes as little surprise, given the efficacy of the Scot off the bench last week. The forecast for a dreich night more akin to Stranraer than Sydney means his aerial acumen is likely to be valuable. 'Blair is obviously a great athlete but the unpredictability of his game makes him very dangerous,' Farrell explained. 'The conditions that we're expecting as far as the aerial game is concerned will be at its premium, so I think this game suits him.' Likewise, James Ryan's work, both seen and unseen in those final second Test minutes, has earned him the nod ahead of Ollie Chessum as Maro Itoje's third lock partner of the tour. 'His physicality when he has come off the bench, when he has put the jersey on over the last three or four weeks, has been there for all to see, so we think he's the right person to start the Test.' Certainly, there will be some in Lions red running slightly on fumes, engines empty after an ever-lengthening season further elongated by this tour. Itoje, Andrew Porter and Tadhg Beirne, in particular, have played mighty minutes across the campaign but will strap up weary bodies and go again against a Wallabies pack weakened slightly by a couple of key absentees. Not so heavy on workload in another injury-hit season, but nonetheless well weathered, is Tadhg Furlong, for whom this is a ninth consecutive, and probably final, Lions Test start. Willie John McBride's record of 15 straight outings will probably never be challenged, yet the longevity of the tighthead is testament to his diligence. There were warm words on Thursday from Australia head coach Joe Schmidt, who gave Furlong his Ireland debut, as well as Farrell. 'It just always happens that when this comes around, how much it means to him means he gets himself in the right frame of mind to be able to do what he's done,' Farrell said. 'It isn't just the performances that have been through the roof. It's his manner on a Lions tour as well. I've never seen him in such good spirits, so he's ready to go again. He's had to adapt his training and how he looks after himself, understanding his body a lot more over the last couple of years. But to be honest, he's unbelievably diligent in all of that now. 'But the nature of a tour like this works in somebody like Tadhg's favour because when you've not got a normal week, which is a seven-day process of warming up and warming down and having to do all sorts of stuff to tick boxes, you get out of your own way on a tour like this because you have to just roll with the punches of what's thrown in front of you.' Furlong's example – and indeed the rest of the squad's – is one that Farrell will hope future Lions will be able to follow.

Australia proved a point in Melbourne — but second Test cannot be a false dawn
'ROBBED,' the back page of Sydney's Sunday Telegraph declared the morning after the night before, an opinion with which Wallabies boss Joe Schmidt appeared to agree. 'It was a tough one to take,' the Australia rugby head coach had said after a long explanation of why he felt Jac Morgan's clean out on Carlo Tizzano should have been penalised that included a reference to the lawbook and an accusation that the referees had not put player welfare first. Around the grabby headline, the Sydney paper planted what it felt was incriminating evidence – the law that Schmidt had quoted; Morgan making contact high on the back or neck of Tizzano; the flanker writhing in pain. This one clearly stings. Another official in another circumstance might have seen a Morgan misdeed; Andrea Piardi felt differently and allowed Hugo Keenan's series-winning score to stand. Plenty of those of an Australian persuasion will continue to feel aggrieved but, in time, perhaps they will reflect how encouraging it was that they could be in a situation where a contentious call settled the second Test. There had been few signs of such competitiveness seven days prior, a meek surrender in the first half in Brisbane slightly salvaged by an improved showing after the interval – but all in attendance were under no illusions about which side had been in total command throughout. Indeed, in the run-up to the second encounter at the MCG, it had been fair to wonder just how fully focussed the Wallabies were on this once in a rugby generation series. It had not helped, perhaps, that Schmidt had appeared to bracket these Tests with the Rugby Championship meetings to come against South Africa, or that he had spoken repeatedly of what a great 'learning experience' this would be for a young team. The Australian squad – which is a little short on the sort of fiery characters to charge up this series publicly – hadn't been particularly combative or confident in their public dealings, and while Schmidt had to be talked in using the term 'submissive' in his reflections on the first Test, the genial Kiwi delivered it nonetheless. Thanks heavens, then, for the first 40 at the 'G, where a bellicose Australia that we have not seen for some time showed up en masse. It cannot be overstated just how much difference Will Skelton and Rob Valetini make to the side, each carry and colossal contact making the rest of the squad swell in size. Skelton was in the thick of things off the ball, too – taking it to Maro Itoje, Tadhg Furlong and other senior figures within the Lions squad, niggling and needling and generally being a nuisance. There is a certain game savvy required at Test level that necessitates pushing the boundaries of the law. The tourists – with vastly more experience – had excelled at that in the opening encounter; Ireland under Andy Farrell are masters of just about staying licit in their ruck actions. It was a welcome change to see Australia engaging in some gamesmanship. But it was only 40 minutes, really, for which Australia felt the lead belligerent in the Melbourne melee. Already in the build-up to Jake Gordon's sniping score one could see what the effort was taking out of their forwards – several times the scrum half had to virtually drag heavy furniture into position to be thrown again into the Lions' defensive line. It felt like it could not last – and did not: Valetini, Slipper and Allan Alaalatoa did not re-emerge after the interval; Will Skelton made it only seven minutes more. With them went more than 300 caps – and it showed. 'I felt that we really had the game to challenge them,' Schmidt said. 'We demonstrated that when we built the lead, but [the Lions] are a really good side. The experience they have just allowed them to stay calm and execute their game.' There are good players on the Australian bench – Angus Bell will soon permanently supplant Slipper and both Langi Gleeson and Tizzano are enjoying standout seasons – but the difference in depth gave the Lions a huge advantage in those final minutes. Now, of course, a side drawn from the best of four unions will always have undue superiority in that sense yet the Wallabies' lack of game-changers is an ongoing concern. The exile of Taniela Tupou, bound for Racing 92, feels odd; so, too, the lack of Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, so good for the First Nations & Pasifika XV last midweek. Australia will reflect on some poor fortune before and during this series. The loss of Noah Lolesio was a huge blow, while having neither Valetini nor Skelton able to muster more than 50 minutes across the first two Test has been hugely significant. Harry Potter's hamstring injury on Saturday night forced scrum half Tate McDermott on to the wing – the makeshift marauder was highly impressive but Australia missed his ability to change the pace coming on at nine. The recent losses to rugby league of Carter Gordon and Mark Nawaqanitawase are still felt. The concern for Schmidt will be that his short tenure may now fizzle out. The New Zealander is only in post through to next summer having agreed a one-year extension to ease the transition to Les Kiss – a smart and worldly character with a breadth of past employers that will serve him well. In Melbourne, one could see the pieces falling into place of the puzzle Kiss must construct before a home World Cup in 2027. While Skelton and Slipper's advancing age will be a worry, it will remain a relatively young squad at his disposal. The tournament will be a vital moment in rugby union's fight for prominence within the nation. The rest of this year may be tricky having missed a chance at a signature win. After the third Test comes two trips to South Africa; a dangerous Argentina follow thereafter for two meetings on Australian soil. A one-win Rugby Championship, like last year, would leave a pessimistic outlook. It makes the last Lions clash surprisingly important for the hosts, one feels. Andy Farrell's side will not ease up consciously as they seek a 3-0 whitewash but Australia will recognise an opportunity to produce another statement performance – the fight shown in Melbourne cannot be a false dawn.
