WELLINGTON (Reuters) - The elevation of Elliot Daly and Liam Williams into the British and Irish Lions test side after strong midweek performances against the Waikato Chiefs was providing plenty of motivation for the squad, according to Robbie Henshaw.

Williams and Daly were selected for their attacking abilities, which were to the fore as the Lions scored a scintillating try by Sean O'Brien in the 30-15 defeat to the All Blacks on Saturday.
