Former England captain Owen Farrell has been named in the replacements for the British & Irish Lions' tour match against an Australia-New Zealand Invitational XV in Adelaide on Saturday.
Ireland's Tadhg Beirne will captain the Lions for the second time as Maro Itoje -- captain in their win against ACT Brumbies on Wednesday -- is rested.
The Lions also announced that Scotland fullback Blair Kinghorn had "received positive news" following a scan on a knee injury sustained early in the victory over the Brumbies on Wednesday.
There were fears that the injury might be serious, causing head coach Andy Farrell a potential headache at fullback following the serious injury that ended Elliot Daly's tour and the scratchy form of Ireland's Hugo Keenan.
Jamie Osborne will join the Lions to provide additional training cover, leaving the Ireland squad in Portugal.
Lions head coach Andy Farrell brought son Owen into the squad last week following Daly's broken arm, which ruled the versatile back out of the three-match test series against the Wallabies.
The 33-year-old playmaker Farrell slots in despite not playing a test since 2023 and after coming off an injury-plagued season in French club rugby. The match-day squad is much changed from the lineup that laboured to a 36-24 win over the ACT Brumbies in Canberra on Wednesday, though several players have been retained.
Winger Mack Hansen and loose forward Henry Pollock, who each played off the bench against the Brumbies, were included in the starting 15. England back Marcus Smith has also been retained on the bench after replacing Kinghorn in Canberra.
Andy Farrell, who defended Owen's inclusion last week, said on Thursday his son was no different to other teammates in needing to catch up fast to the Lions' playbook.
"He's the same as everyone else who's had to get up to speed pretty quickly," Farrell said at a news conference in Adelaide on Thursday.
"Everyone had to at the start and a few have come in since. I think the art of this stage of the tour is mentally being as switched on as you possibly can. There's not that much training that you can do. We're at a captain's run tomorrow and that's the preparation for this game."
Farrell's team will face 14 test players in the AUNZ line-up coached by Les Kiss at the Adelaide Oval, their final run-out before the first test against Australia on July 19.
"As a unit, how they gel together, there's a little bit of unknown there," Farrell said of their opponents. "It looks like a formidable side, doesn't it, that's going to be hard to stop."
