rugby - PRIDE SHOULD SPUR LIONS ON.
(From Newsletter)
ITOS all very well trotting out the old adage about wounded Lions being dangerous but the clichZs donOt exactly explain how the All Blacks can be beaten in the second Test.
These Lions have reached the point of no return yet, on the evidence of last week, it is hard to make a coherent case for a visiting victory tomorrow morning (8.10 BST).
It is reasonable to expect the tourists to improve on their Christchurch capitulation, but better conditions and the benefits of having last weekOs game under their belts should strengthen New ZealandOs hand.
When Sir Clive WoodwardOs troubled tourists take the field in WellingtonOs Westpac Stadium, they should have no shortage of motivation.
The circumstances in which their captain Brian OODriscoll sustained the injury which cruelly ended his tour in the opening minutes of last SaturdayOs first Test in Christchurch represent a running sore.
A desire to win for their sidelined leader should stir the tourists along with the need to restore lost pride and keep the series alive until the third and final meeting in Auckland next week.
