South Africa A have decided to include, well, pretty much every big name that is either free from injury or isolation. Seriously, just bloody look at that team!
Particular Lions misery interest will be directed to the ten shirt, where 129-year-old Morné Steyn is in to haunt the Lions with memories of this late series winning penalty in 2009.
Warren Gatland names some interesting combinations with many venturing that Bundee Aki and Chris Harris could well start the first test in the centres. But some late selections shenanegans has seen likely first choice half-back pairing of no longer tour captain Conor Murray and Dan Biggar torn asunder with Owen Farrell in for his Welsh tour-mate at the last minute.
Elsewhere there’s an exciting backrow trio in Curry, Navidi and Faletau, while try machine Josh Adams is another late selection yoink – Liam Willliams replaces him and swaps positions with Anthony Watson at fullback.
