Genia excited by Test decider

Will Genia will cherish a unique moment in his career when Australia and the British and Irish Lions collide in this morning’s series decider at ANZ Stadium.

While the 2001 Wallabies were initially unaware of what Lions tours meant – their fly-half Steve Larkham has said they thought French players were involved – the 2013 squad have recognised their rarity value from the start.

The series has thrust rugby union, which struggles for exposure in a fiercely competitive Australian sports market, back into the minds of the public, supplying a welcome cash injection in the process.
