James Slipper urges Wallabies to ignore 'losing mentality' jibe with Lions series on the line

• Veteran calls for history to repeat after being part of fightback in 2013

• Australia boosted by return of Rob Valetini and Will Skelton from injury

Steely Wallabies veteran James Slipper is urging his battered troops to block out the "noise" as they look to stop the Lions juggernaut in their do-or-die second Test in Melbourne.

The series is on the line at the MCG on Saturday night with Slipper offering a unique perspective in the current Australian line-up as the only player to have taken part in two series.
