Tadhg Furlong is named in the front row with Rory Sutherland and Luke Cowan Dickie. Jones' remarkable recovery from a dislocated shoulder, 19 days ago, sees him make the bench. Lions coach Warren Gatland commented:
"For the matchday 23 it’s their last opportunity to stake a claim for a Test place, so I expect to see a highly motivated group of players. "It is particularly pleasing to be able to name Stuart Hogg in the squad. He’s not had much luck on Lions Tours to date, so it’ll be great to see him cross the whitewash again with the captain’s armband.""I’m also delighted that Marcus will get his first start in a Lions jersey," he added. "I’ve been really impressed with his attitude since coming into camp this week; he’s been like a sponge for information."
