British and Irish Lions hooker Dan Sheehan says that winning the upcoming Test series against Australia is all that matters in terms of this squad cementing their legacy. The tourists head into the week of the first Test having won all their matches Down Under in comfortable style. However, it's debatable whether they've won hearts and minds while over here. Some sections of the Australian media have been critical of the Lions' approach to the tour - with an apparent lack of engagement with locals criticised. For their part, the Lions are insistent that they have done their fair share of community engagement throughout the tour. Ultimately though, for the players, there is just one thing on their minds.

"It would be a good story and a good legacy to have a winning series. "We haven’t delved too much into the wider picture. We did at the start when we were trying to frame the mindset, but this week has been all about Saturday, and how our prep goes into winning this game on Saturday, and we’re going to throw everything at that. "There’s going to be no holding anything back, or waiting for the next two Tests. It’s all about Saturday. "I think we’re in a good spot. Lads are hungry, and we’re expecting the Wallabies to be hungry. I think it’ll be a good Test and fireworks on Saturday. "There's a lot that goes into winning, you can't just say you want to win. That's what we've been saying the last few weeks, making sure the bonds off the field click and we've seen it week on week, getting more clinical and getting used to the different people, the different personnel and sort of adapting to a new game plan for most of us. "There's a lot that goes into winning, when I say we want to win it's not as simple as saying that and then we go out and train. A lot of different bits go into it. "The management and the whole way the tour has been set up has been excellent in that we're all getting a lot of downtime off the pitch, we're not just in meetings or on the pitch all the time. "There's a lot of time to connect in the evenings, different social groups and stuff. So, I think at this point we're all quite tight and connected in what we want to do and ready for a big Test series." When asked if there was a responsibility to connect with not just the locals, but the travelling fans - able to once again follow the Lions after the Covid-hit tour of South Africa four years ago - Sheehan added: "I think the best way to connect with them is to give them a win. "Performance is the way to do that, yeah we can give them a cheer and a clap after the game but ultimately that's not what they came for, they came for a good game of rugby. "If we do that, they'll feel part of it. That's a goal of ours, to make sure if we have a big crowd on Saturday which we probably will, that we bring them into the game and make it feel almost like a 50/50 game that could be anywhere in the world. "But I still think it's down to what we put out on the pitch, that's how you get the crowd in behind you." English back-row Henry Pollock has also lit the touchpaper, saying that a 3-0 series victory for the Lions is "definitely on the table" amid talk within the squad of wanting to "be the best Lions team ever". However, Sheehan isn't too worried the Northampton tyro will have suddenly provided the Wallabies with extra motivation ahead of Saturday's Test at Suncorp Stadium. "Every team in the world wants to be the best team they’ve featured in," he said. "It hasn’t changed in my mindset. "You can juice up anything. I don’t think that’s anything too crazy. It’s obviously everyone’s goal to win a Test series, and to try to be a step beyond the last squad. "The way rugby has evolved, every team should be better than the last, and it’s a massive goal of ours to make sure we reach our potential. "I think if we do reach our potential we have the possibility to be one of the best teams. I think they’re fair comments. "We've seen it the last couple of years, they've probably been written up as under dogs and they've put in some massive performances, shaken some big teams. So I think of course there's going to be a bit of fire and they'll feed into that. "But that's out of our control in some ways and we need to make sure we come out firing and stamp out gameplan on them early. I'm sure there's going to be some big collisions, some big heated moments in the game. We need to be ready for that and get back to process. "I suppose it gives you a responsibility to go out and do it. No one is going to shy away from it, our aim is a Test series win and I don't think anyone should be afraid of saying it. "At the end of the day, everyone knows it. I don't think any team really goes in saying 'oh yeah, one game at a time', 'hopefully we'll win the next one, the next one'... there's a clear gameplan to have a dominant series and win. "It's the way I was brought up in my career, to be very clear in what you want out of a season or a campaign and then you have to attack it. There's a bit of a responsibility on you, you've said it out loud so you have to go do it." He added: "I think we do have to find another level. The quality of opposition has gone up a considerable amount, especially on the back of the last couple of weeks where a lot of those teams are missing their big internationals. "So we do have to be a lot better. We’ve had some close games in the last few weeks so we definitely need to step up."
