- Updated: 07/07/2025
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.
Maro Itoje captains the side in Canberra and Blair Kinghorn makes his first start at full-back having joined the squad late because of his Top 14 duties with Toulouse.
There will certainly be some players tryng to impress with the first test looming against the Wallabies on 19 July.
British and Irish Lions: Blair Kinghorn, Tommy Freeman, Garry Ringrose, Bundee Aki, James Lowe, 10 Finn Russell, Jamison Gibson-Park; Ellis Genge, Dan Sheehan, Tadhg Furlong, Maro Itoje (c), Joe McCarthy, Ollie Chessum, Tom Curry, Jack Conan.
Replacements: Ronan Kelleher, Andrew Porter, Will Stuart, Josh van der Flier, Henry Pollock, Alex Mitchell, Marcus Smith, Mack Hansen.
