Phillips seeks to end on high note
Mike Phillips is convinced the British and Irish Lions can end their South Africa tour in winning fashion at Ellis Park on Saturday.
But they must tackle the world champion Springboks without three key players - Brian O'Driscoll (concussion), Adam Jones (dislocated shoulder) and Gethin Jenkins fractured cheekbone).
"We can win on Saturday. We have got enough tools to go out there and get the victory, so we will be gunning for it." said Phillips.
"It's horrible losing in sport, and we have got to deal with that this week. You just want to win as a professional player.
"You come out here, it's the Lions, it's legendary stuff, it's every four years, a great opportunity, a chance to fulfil your dreams and make them come true. It's all about winning.
"People said we had no chance (in Pretoria), and we were by far the better team. We lost it in the last second."
Lions head coach Ian McGeechan is due to name his starting line-up on Thursday.
England props Andrew Sheridan and Phil Vickery are favourites to fill the front-row vacancies, while O'Driscoll's replacement could come down to a straight choice between Riki Flutey and Keith Earls.
McGeechan might consider switching Luke Fitzgerald into midfield with Shane Williams on the wing, but Flutey or Earls seems a more logical choice as Welshman Jamie Roberts' midfield partner.
