O'Brien: Lions 'wanted to put things right' after defeat to Brumbies

British and Irish Lions captain Dan Lydiate believes today’s 35-0 victory over the Melbourne Rebels served as a good audition for places ahead of Saturday’s potential series decider against Australia.

British and Irish Lions flanker Sean O'Brien believes today’s 35-0 victory over the Melbourne Rebels has made up for their defeat to last week's loss to the Brumbies.

A second-string Lions side enhanced their claims to feature in coach Warren Gatland’s matchday 23 for next Saturday’s second Test against the Wallabies.
