Video: Sexton ready for 'once in a lifetime opportunity'

SOUNDBITE: (English) Jonny Sexton, British and Irish Lions Fly Half:“Yeah obviously the nerves will build, they kicked in this morning. We were just talking about how everyone’s on so many different wavelengths. The guys that aren’t involved are just a million miles away from where we are mentally. It’s strange being in that environment where some lads are so relaxed and some are torn up with nerves already. We’ve spoken about it being a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, in Australia to try and win a test series. We’ve got the chance to do it on Saturday.”

SOUNDBITE: (English) James Horwill, Australia captain:“We’re certainly very determined no matter what happens. We’re 1-0 down in the series, this is a must-win game to keep the series alive and we want to retain the Tom Richards Cup. That’s been our focus from the moment we got together very early in the year and in first initial camps. We want to get our hands back on that cup. That’s all we’re focused on, no matter what the determination and drive to do that, no matter what happens has been very high.”

“Look I got a very fair hearing first time, I expect it to be no different come second time. I don’t know too much about it. I’ve been focused on the game, once the game finished we’ll have a better look at it but I guess our legal team in place are doing that at the moment. My focus is completely on this weekend.”
