Be 'prepared to win with skill but be ready to win by will' - Katie Taylor message helped Lions to second half comeback

"It was unbelievably poignant, it was class. It really hit home for us, it was brilliant" - Jack Conan on fellow Bray native Katie Taylor's message to the squad.

A video message from boxing hero Katie Taylor helped stir the British & Irish Lions into a comeback for the ages at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

For Jack Conan, like the Olympic gold medalist and professional world champion a native of Bray, Co. Wicklow, Taylor's address to the squad in the build-up to Saturday’s second Test was remarkably prescient as the No.8 admitted the Lions were far from at their best as Australia fought for their lives to stay in the series following their first-Test defeat seven days earlier.
