Waratahs go head-to-head with Lions in Sydney
Here are allocation and lions.
As you can see, the lions look extremely powerful, with a few familiar names in the starting team: Mack Hansen, Finlay Bealham and Sione Tuipulotu were grown in Australia before going to Ireland and Scotland to play test ragbi.
There was a late change for the lions: the young Backrower Henry Pollock retreated with a tight calf, so Captain Tadgh Beirne is moving from the lock to 6 and Scott Cummings ranks second.
Blair Kinghorn and Hugo Keenan also play their first matches on the tour and both are sharp.
As with the other Aussie sides, the Waratahlar Wallaby Troops, but there are several key men at the key points. Taniela Tupou begins at Tighthead, and you should think that the test chance is moving intensively on a strong show here.
Andrew Kellaway has returned from Wallabies and will be a key man to bring calm and calmness. Rob Leota will also take back Matt Philip, which will bring back the new allocation and the new allocation.
Interestingly, the Wallabies staff member Edmed, does not start at No.10. Jack Bowen will start and Edmed to Brumbies next year, Edmed, will come from the pine.
