British and Irish Lions

The Irish broke an 18-year jinx by defeating Scotland 36-6 in Edinburgh last Sunday to open their RBS 6 Nations campaign in style, but the Lions centre is only too aware of how dangerous complacency can be.

With a tricky assignment up next against an Italy side buoyant after their 30-22 win over Wales, O'Driscoll said: "Obviously you have to say it is a big monkey off our backs to have won there. It was a long time coming but, having said that, it was a win we felt we deserved.

"But we're not patting ourselves on the back and telling each other we're great.

"It's more a case of move on and move upwards if we want to go on and compete in this competition.

"Last Sunday would be pointless if we went and lost this Saturday, so you must take each game at a time and put the last one behind you.

"We'lll take the confidence from winning that game but there's no point in dwelling on it."

The British & Irish Lions will dust themselves down after losing their unbeaten record to the Brumbies and be back at work in a positive frame of mind from Wednesday, according to 2009 Test full back Rob Kearney.

With Tuesday's trip to Canberra next on the agenda for The British & Irish Lions, we take a look back at their last clash with the Brumbies, a match that went right down to the wire.

The British & Irish Lions went to the home of one of the two schools that played fixtures against them on the inaugural tour in 1888 this week, Sydney Grammar School.
