Team for reference:
Lions team to face South Africa: Hogg; A Watson, Daly, Henshaw, Van Der Merwe; Biggar, Price; W Jones, Cowan-Dickie, Furlong, Itoje, AW Jones (capt), Lawes, Curry, Conan.
Replacements: Owens, Sutherland, Sinckler, Beirne, H Watson, Murray, Farrell, L Williams.
I am surprised Lawes gets the start, as much as I am a fan, just didn't see it coming. No LRZ or Faletau near the squad? I think Price was probably the right call. I've never had much confidence in Murray - when he's on, he's on, but when he's not, it's a miserable day out.
The 5-3 split on the bench gives an idea of what they expect to happen in this game....
