Lions hero Hugo Keenan insists he never doubted his controversial series winning try would be awarded.That is despite Wallaby protests that Jac Morgan had delivered an illegal clear out at the ruck that produced the ball for the full back to dive over the try line in the 79th minute of a pulsating 29-26 win in Melbourne.Keenan scored a dramatic try against Australia to seal a first Lions tour series win since 2013GettyKeenan has written his name into Lions immortality in front of over 90,000 fans to seal the 2025 Test series against the Wallabies 2-0, and now his focus is on helping the team make it a historic 3-0 whitewash in the final test in Sydney next weekend.Joe Schmidt, the Wallabies heach coach, and former Australia players including ex-captain Michael Hooper, believes Morgan should have been penalised for making head contact with Carlo Rizzano, but Keenan disagrees.He said: “To be honest, once I saw the clearout, I was pretty confident.“I don’t think there was any foul play in it and I was confident that the refs would make the right call.“It was just relief, delighted and ecstatic that we got over the line. A cool moment.”Keenan has been hampered by injury and serious illness on the tour, losing considerable weight and missing key matches, but this victory has made all the pain and frustration worth it.He explained: “It’s been a mad whole trip. It’s not how I imagined it going, getting sick for two weeks and coming in to camp a bit injured.“It’s been a rollercoaster, but I suppose these things happen for a reason, and thankfully I was in full health come the last two Tests.“I’m delighted to be involved and delighted that we got the result today.“It’s special moments having our family and friends out on the pitch with us at the end. It’s those moments you play rugby for and you dream of.Keenan was paraded following the full-time whistle at the MCGGettyThe Lions have won the first two Tests of a series for the first time since 1997Getty“It’s a bit surreal. It was a class moment. It was off the back two minutes of phase attack, the lads digging deep.“It meant the world to myself and everybody that was out there, the 23, the lads who weren’t playing, the backroom staff, the 50,000 Lions supporters out there and everyone at home. It’s a really special moment.“All the games have been a bit different. Some we’ve won well, others have been a bit of a grind.“I think that has stood to the quality of the opposition we’ve played over the last number of weeks.“It was probably the first time we went down a number of points, and it is not the position you want to put yourself in, but we felt pretty confident when we were attacking that we could score.“Belief never waivered. Again, those encouraging words at half-time were to just keep believing in ourselves and keep pushing on. Fair play to the lads for digging in.”GettyThe Lions will be hoping for a historic series whitewash in the third Test on August 2[/caption]Keenan paid tribute to captain Maro Itoje and half backs Finn Russell and Jamison Gibson-Park who were key figures in a game that saw the Lions come back from a record 18 points deficit to win.The Lions star remarked: “Maro is class, Finn and Jamo class, everybody was stepping up.“They are obviously incredible leaders, but I think it was everybody out there stepping up, whether it was in carries, in rucks, in D. It is a full team performance. “We came into half-time with a bit of belief. We knew the first half hadn’t gone to plan at all, but we had shifted the momentum and we had what we needed in the changing room in the belief of the coaches.“Faz really emphasised that. I don’t think we ever got too worried out there. We backed ourselves and the leaders really drove that for us. Maro was exceptional, wasn’t he?”With a record crowd for a Lions test, Keenan did well to spot the many family members and friends at the MCG for the game and dived into the crowd during the extended celebrations that continued in the team’s changing rooms. He said: “I jumped in [to the crowd] a few times! It was unbelievable walking around the stadium. My parents were there, my brother, my uncle and aunt, and my girlfriend.“I’ve about ten friends over from Ireland who have spent a bomb to be here, but they are all saying it is absolutely worth it. Really cool moments which make it extra special.“It’s [winning] is definitely up there. How could it not be? The Lions is the pinnacle for a Britain and Ireland rugby player, and to win a series is incredibly special.“It’s there or thereabouts. I’m absolutely delighted and it is extra special to do it with such a good bunch and so many familiar faces in the crowd.“I think we’ll enjoy tonight and celebrate what we have achieved so far.“I’m sure come Monday morning, when we turn the page, it’ll all be about finishing it the right way.”
