Lions skipper Martin Johnson has asked for one more massive effort from his players to clinch the series decider against Australia in Sydney on Saturday.

"It's no time to roll over, it is time to roll up our sleeves and get on with it," he said on the eve of the game.

"It would be fantastic for all the players to be involved in a Lions series victory - a massive achievement," he said. "Some of the guys have been part of it before, and all of us want to do it this time.

"I can't see me playing any rugby in 2005 at the highest level. There are a number of guys who appreciate that this is their last game ever in a Lions shirt."

"And we are not going to come all this way, with all the hard work we've done, and roll over," Johnson added.

"There have been a few injuries, but look at the guys who've played. Probably no-one would have given Rob Henderson a chance of starting in the Tests, but he has done fantastically well," he said.

"When we lost Dan Luger everyone was very down about it, and rightly so, but Jason Robinson and Dafydd James have played very well on the wings for us. Then we lose Rob Howley, and we've got Matt Dawson coming in, so there is strength in depth in the squad, as there should be."

Johnson had a special word for the massive support the Lions have recieved during the whole tour. "We've had fantastic support out here and it was certainly a lift to the side away from home to have equal, maybe greater, support in the first Test," Johnson said.

"The occasion in Brisbane was massive and I am sure that it will be bigger still in Sydney tomorrow. I wouldn't be anywhere else but in Sydney this weekend."
