00:00This is huge, you know, so this would mean the world to me.

00:04You know, the volume of noise, everything's ramped up.

00:07It either brings the best out of you, you know, or you're under the pressure.

00:24We don't pay too much attention to the bookies' odds or what people are saying.

00:28We're just concentrating on tomorrow and trying to put a great performance out there

00:32because that's what's going to be needed.

00:34You know, a great performance, not a good performance to beat this Australian team.

00:38They're a proud nation.

00:39They're a top-class team, well-coached,

00:41and we need to get our best version of ourselves out there tomorrow.

00:54Yeah, it's probably similar to World Cups.

00:57So I've been in enough Lions tests without being in coaches' boxes.

01:02And, you know, the volume of noise, everything's ramped up.

01:08The microscope you're under, the pressure you feel.

01:12And for those guys, just to relieve that pressure valve just a little bit,

01:17I think will be useful for us.

01:19We want to see a performance that does everyone proud,

01:30and what does that look like?

01:32I mean, when I'm talking about everyone,

01:33you're seeing the thousands of people that are turning up now.

01:37You're walking around town, and you get that Lions buzz, don't you?

01:40And it's certainly going to hot up tomorrow.

01:42So it's making sure that we do everyone proud here and at home

01:47with the type of performance that is one that's going to walk forward

01:50to the challenge and be the best version of ourselves.
