Friday, the British and Irish lions underwent a defeat in Argentina in Dublin in their opening match
Pushed on which players from the camps of England, Scotland and Wales on which he may have constituted a negative vision, Sheehan was shy before admitting the Helic England Ellis Genge is someone who has surprised him since.
“I’m not going to give names. You prepare for them and see them as talismans for their own country and you are probably happy to be on their side now and to share the same shirt,” he said.
“We must make sure that we bring all this energy that we had against each other and bring it out on Saturday against Western Force.
“This is something that we just need to kiss and laugh if there has been something in recent years and to use to our advantage.
“He (Genge) is a big guy – he is real, he is honest. I love the energy he brings to the team and the training is incredible.
