11 things to get you pumped up for the Lions match tomorrow

Featuring rage-inducing T-shirts, classic Brian O’Driscoll tries and that infamous Sportsbet advertisement.

1. Even with a broken arm, POC is prepared to train in solidarity with the lads

Ben Alexander said of the big man: “Our physio said: “He’s just broke his arm there”, before the last few scrums, but he got up and we thought “oh, maybe not”. He packed those last few scrums with a busted arm, and didn’t wince, and he shook hands after the game and you thought “okay, maybe he doesn’t have a busted arm”.”

In 2001, the Lions won the first Test and looked likely to go on and win the series. Australia had other ideas and stole all the momentum in the second Test.

    Conspiracy theory alert……Is POC training so hard out there with a broken arm in case he has a chance of doing a Tommy Bowe for the 3rd test..Probably not but Gatland has been known to play mind games before!

    Never thought of that either, but could you imagine a third test with winner takes all, and out walks POC onto the pitch in Sydney ready for action.
