Geordan Murphy could have been forgiven for kissing goodbye to any hopes of wearing the Lions fullback jersey in the Test series against New Zealand after watching Josh Lewsey produced a stunning man-of-the-match display in the Lions’ victory over the Bay of Plenty.

But not a bit of it. The Irishman is relishing the challenge and today vowed to respond by raising the bar even higher against Taranaki on Wednesday.
