Scrum-half Mike Phillips admits that he still has to pinch himself every time he plays for the British and Irish Lions.

Phillips was named man of the match for his performance in the Lions' opening game of their summer tour this afternoon, scoring two tries in a 58-9 victory over the Barbarians.

Having also toured with the Lions four years ago, Phillips is by no means a newcomer to the side, but he still regards every match for them as a dream come true.

"You play alongside these world class players and it's very humbling and a massive honour," he said.

"The players that have worn the shirt before you. It's incredible and a dream come true.

"You have to pinch yourself but keep working hard, keep your head down and do the best you can do."

The Lions will play their first match in Australia against Western Force on Wednesday.
