Owen Farrell will captain the British and Irish Lions in their final tour match in Australia, against a First Nations-Pasifika XV at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on Tuesday night.
Farrell has been given the honour by father and Lions coach Andy Farrell and will line up at inside centre outside of rising English star Fin Smith.
The match, which will be a large portion of the Lions broader squad's final hit-out in Australia, also represents the opportunity for the likes of Test hopefuls Jac Morgan and Blair Kinghorn to impress ahead of the second clash with the Wallabies at the MCG this weekend.
But cracking that matchday 23, injuries aside, looks to be a tough ask given how well the Lions played in Brisbane after they ran out 27-19 winners at Suncorp Stadium.
They will have the chance to wrap up the series in front of a crowd of over 90,000, but will first have all eyes on their clash with a First Nations-Pasifika XV, one that features several Wallabies players keen to impress in Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, Brandon Paenga-Amosa, Taniela Tupou and Filipo Daugunu.
The Lions have elsewhere named both Josh van der Flier and Henry Pollock in a mobile back-row, while James Ryan and Scott Cummins pair up at lock. In the front-row, Pierre Schoeman, Jamie George and Finlay Bealham present as a hugely experienced engine room.
Inside Smith in the backline is Scottish scrum-half Ben White, while Irishman Jamie Osborne partners Farrell in the midfield after only joining the squad late last week.
Darcy Graham and Duhan van der Merwe round out an all-Scotland back three alongside Kinghorn.
"This fixture gives players another opportunity to put their hand up for selection for the final two Tests.
"The coaches' minds are open when it comes to selection, they have to be with so many players performing and pushing for places and we want that to continue for the remaining two Tests.
"This group know the level of performance that we will require against a First Nations Pasifika team that is packed with talent and power."
The match has been shrouded in controversy after the Lions last week rejected Pete Samu's selection in the squad, resulting in widespread public outrage, while the team's coach Toutai Kefu said he was "absolutely gutted" by the decision.
Andy Farrell on Saturday night defended the "rules and regulations" that were used to block Samu's inclusion, with the tourists having exercised their right to have a say on whom the First Nations-Pasifika team could select under the pre-tour agreement.
The First Nations-Pasifika side was organized following the demise of the Melbourne Rebels, with the Victorian Super Rugby franchise wound up due to crippling financial debts.
Replacements Ben Earl, Alex Mitchell and Marcus Smith are the only Lions players backing up from Saturday night's win over the Wallabies.
