‘You've got to toughen up': Lynagh battered but not beaten
'Obviously the boys have seen just the warrior Tommy is. He's a small guy but he puts his body on the line. What we know is Tommy's got a great kicking game. But tonight he showed fight and he showed courage which is really important for him in general.' Post-game, Lynagh claimed he was 'still shaking with adrenaline' from the experience but he clearly processes the hormone well, given his relaxed demeanour and a revelation he felt no nerves before the game. Again, seemingly like his father, Tom Lynagh said he was not someone who gets overawed before a match, even if it is a starting Test debut at no.10 against the Lions at a sold-out Suncorp. And with the name Lynagh, and a nation, on his back. 'I've always sort of been like that. I just try to be as relaxed as possible and keep a calm head,' Lynagh said. 'No point to prove, just go out there and play my game. It was incredible experience. It's my first time playing at Suncorp when it's packed out. 'It's always something I wanted to do and follow in Dad's footsteps. So, I'm living the dream now. It's a proud moment for myself and my family.' The Lynaghs became the first father and son in history to both play Tests against the Lions. Asked about being physically targeted, Lynagh said: 'It's part of the job, mate. You've got to toughen up for games like this. You can't shy away from anything. 'My position, my build, it's an easy target and I know that. I've got to have my game where it's at that level. It's just my job.' Lynagh debuted last year but struggled with back and hamstring injuries, and wasn't selected for the spring tour. He went on Queensland's tour of Japan instead, and also joined Australia A in England. 'I don't think my body was ready last year. I struggled getting on the field a lot of the time. But to be in and around that environment and actually have a few caps in my name … I really thrived from that,' he said. 'I didn't make [the] spring tour, but went away with the Reds in Japan. I felt like a different person over there and took that to Super Rugby this year.' Lynagh, who grew up in England but moved to Queensland after school, said he always felt Australian but admitted his path being blocked at Harlequins by Lions rival Marcus Smith was a factor. The Wallabies now move to Melbourne, where they must win or the series is lost. There is a lot of improvement required, said McDermott. Loading 'We came here with a goal and we didn't achieve it. But we've got to get on the horse quick. We've only got six days to prepare for what's coming. It's going to be one of the biggest games of our lives,' he said. Unsuprisingly, the sanguine Lynagh is not panicking: 'We'll work away during the week. We've still got another two game. The series is still in the balance. It's not over yet.'

Tadhg Beirne shows why he is Andy Farrell's prize poacher
S ky Sports are on to a winner with Dan Biggar and Ronan O'Gara. The two former fly halves have a natural rapport yet their easy banter never gets in the way of some searing insights. On one occasion yesterday, however, the TV execs must have been cursing Biggar for his honesty. As the Test match limped towards a conclusion, the Welshman admitted: 'It just feels a little bit flat, doesn't it? It doesn't feel like the end of a first Test at Suncorp at the beginning of a huge series.' It was left to others to scramble for reasons why the series might hold our attention for the next fortnight. Will Skelton and Rob Valetini may be ready for Melbourne. The Wallabies are wounded. They will be better next week. And so on.

Suncorp and IAG's disaster profits come at taxpayer expense
There's been a flood of good news for investors in Australia's major listed insurers. Insurance Australia Group (IAG) and Suncorp got off very lightly from the impact of ex-tropical Cyclone Alfred, which delayed the federal election but did far less damage than feared. But therein lies the rub. Those citizens reeling from the impact of major disasters wouldn't like to see insurers crowing about their money-making. Celebrations of full-year profit figures will be muted. Meanwhile, industry lobby group the Insurance Council of Australia – chaired by Suncorp chief Steve Johnston – is doing what it can to smooth things along.
