"Peter is a proven captain with Munster. He never takes a backward step and we believe that those leadership qualities will serve us well on Saturday against a quality and determined Maori All Blacks team.”The Lions will line up as follows on Saturday: BRITISH & IRISH LIONS MATCHDAY 23 15. Leigh Halfpenny 14. Anthony Watson 13. Jonathan Davies 12. Ben Te'o 11. George North 10. Jonathan Sexton 9. Conor Murray 1. Mako Vunipola 2. Jamie George 3. Tadhg Furlong 4. Maro Itoje 5. George Kruis 6. Peter O'Mahony (capt) 7. Sean O'Brien 8. Taulupe Faletau Replacements 16. Ken Owens, 17. Jack McGrath, 18. Kyle Sinckler, 19. Iain Henderson, 20. Sam Warburton, 21. Greig Laidlaw, 22. Owen Farrell, 23. Elliot Daly
There is no CJ Stander in the squad but there are bench spots for Jack McGrath and Iain Henderson. Interestingly, tour captain Sam Warburton can only make the bench as Sean O'Brien gets another start at openside.
It's going to take some stopping the All Blacks next week though. As if a reminder was needed of how strong the New Zealanders were, their team to face Samoa is bordering on a joke.
