Just seven days before the first test match between the British and Irish Lions and Australia, Saturday’s clash against a combined Australia and New Zealand team is presented as the final test before the main event.<\/p>\n
Players from both sides of the Tasman have come together to test the tourists in what promises to be an interesting encounter.<\/p>\n
After last week’s victory over the Brumbies, Lions coach Andy Farrell has rested most of the players expected to start against Australia next week.<\/p>\n
However, some will have the opportunity to make a last effort. Flanker Jac Morgan will seek to secure his place with the number 7 jersey, while fullback Hugo Keenan can aspire to a place in the starting XV after Blair Kinghorn’s injury.<\/p>\n
The AUNZ team has a lot of talent, many of whom are former internationals or would not be out of place in the current lineups of Australia and the All Blacks.<\/p>\n
Pay attention to Chiefs fullback Shaun Stevenson, an exceptional talent who has only played one test match for New Zealand and will join Japanese club rugby next year.<\/p>\n
Will the powerful winger Marika Koroibete be able to capture Joe Schmidt’s interest with an outstanding performance?<\/p>\n
A great show and lots of fun are expected in Adelaide. Follow the live updates so you don’t miss anything!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
