Owen Farrell will captain the British and Irish Lions in their midweek match against a First Nations & Pasifika XV in Melbourne. The Tuesday night clash at Marvel Stadium features a much-changed Lions side, as head coach Andy Farrell aims to rest players involved in the first Test. The fixture provides an opportunity for players such as Blair Kinghorn and Garry Ringrose to stake a claim for selection in the final two Tests. The First Nations & Pasifika XV is composed of top Super Rugby Pacific performers, celebrating Indigenous and Pacific Island heritage, and includes Wallabies Taniela Tupou and Filipo Daugunu. The Lions squad includes several players making their first appearances in Lions red, such as Jamie Osborne and Darcy Graham, alongside established names.
