Former Australia captain Nick Farr-Jones pins his country's hopes of success this summer on scrum-half Will Genia.

Former Australia captain Nick Farr-Jones believes that scrum-half Will Genia needs to perform if the team are to beat the British and Irish Lions this summer.

The Lions enter the match in good shape in terms of fitness, but the home nation have been hit with a number of injuries over the past week.

"Genia I rate as the best; it's important that he is consistently good," Farr-Jones told Sky Sports News.

"The good ball we get, Will's got to be able to use that well and his judgement's going to be really critical. He's playing with confidence, I think he'll want to dictate the series."

Farr-Jones won the World Cup with Australia in 1991.
