💨 Abstract

British & Irish Lions coach Andy Farrell revealed that Jac Morgan was almost selected for the starting XV in the opening Test against Australia, but ultimately chose Tadhg Beirne, Tom Curry, and Jack Conan. The team features a Scottish fly-half and centre combination, with Joe McCarthy at lock alongside captain Maro Itoje. Owen Farrell, though impressive off the bench, is expected to start in the next warm-up game.
