Huw Jones starts for the Lions
Huw Jones will make his first start for the British & Irish Lions this Wednesday, after being named at outside centre for the midweek clash with the Queensland Reds in Brisbane.

Jones came off the bench in Saturday's 54-7 win over the Western Force to make his debut the Lions.

Finn Russell starts at fly-half and
Duhan van der Merwe lines up on the left wing.

Meanwhile, Scotland's Ben White has joined the Lions' squad as a replacement for Tomos Williams after the Welsh scrum-half picked up a hamstring injury after scoring a try in the win in Perth.
