Andy trusts his Ireland stars for clash with ACT Brumbie

ANDY Farrell is taking no chances for Wednesday’s match against the ACT Brumbies in the Lions’ next challenge in Australia. He has chosen eight Ireland internationals as part of his starting fifteen.
Included to start are Jamison Gibson-Park, Bundee Aki and Garry Ringrose, Joe McCarthy, Dan Sheehan, Tadhg Fiurlong, Jack Conan and James Lowe while on the bench are Ronan Kelleher, Andrew Porter, Josh van der Flier and Mack Hansen.
