Johnny Sexton has urged British & Irish Lions players to make the most of every opportunity they get in the tourists’ famous red jersey as the first Test against Australia looms ever larger.

The former Ireland captain and fly-half talisman was speaking from Canberra’s GIO Stadium on Tuesday as he oversaw the Lions kickers’ training ahead of Wednesday’s tour match against Super Rugby semi-finalists the Brumbies.
