Changes in the Lions’ Starting XV for the Second Test against Australia
The British and Irish Lions coach, Andy Farrell, has made three significant changes to his starting lineup to face Australia in the second Test, which will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday.
Bundee Aki, Ollie Chessum, and Andrew Porter have been included in the starting team, replacing Sione Tuipulotu, Joe McCarthy, and Ellis Genge, respectively.
Genge, who played as a loosehead prop, is now on the bench. On the other hand, McCarthy and Tuipulotu, due to foot injuries and a hamstring problem, respectively, are not part of the team.
