Lions 2013: Tom Croft and Jonathan Davies will be fit to face Australia, says Andy Farrell, despite missing training We have a lot of experience in big games and that counts for a lot because they've been there and done it. We have world class players in our side and what you tend to find for games like this is that performance levels rise by 10-15 per cent. Ireland centre Brian O'Driscoll, participating in his fourth Lions tour, will be playing his seventh Test for the tourists. I'm proud. You work hard towards this, which is the ultimate for a player from Britain and Ireland. You're following so many great players who have worn the Lions jersey before you," O'Driscoll said. I'm not one to dwell on the enormity of the occasion. It's more something to reflect on when you're retired. O'Driscoll scored a stunning solo try in the opening Test in Brisbane 12 years ago, a match played in front of a crowd dominated by Lions fans. The supporters can play a huge role for us. It genuinely felt that day like a home game. It was great and let's hope we'll get something similar tomorrow," he said. It's not that we weren't expecting that, but when we ran out the ground felt as though it was three-quarters red. That gives you an extra pep in your step and gives you added incentive, providing you with that inspiration you need to play the game of your life. Australia are one of the smartest teams. They invariably have key players in important positions. But we have a great togetherness, we're enjoying each other's company and having good fun together. We're well prepared. England hooker Tom Youngs, a converted centre, will be making his Test debut for the Lions after edging Richard Hibbard for the No 2 jersey and expects an epic battle up front. It's going to be massive. The set-piece in any game is massive, but tomorrow will have an edge to it. We can't wait for tomorrow," he said. Playing for the Lions is a dream come true. It's quite hard to take in the moment. My heart will be pumping before the match.
