Owen Farrell named on bench for Lions' second Test against Australia - as THREE changes are made for potential series decider
Sione Tuipulotu is suffering from a tight hamstring and Garry Ringrose is suffering from concussion, meaning Bundee Aki and Huw Jones will start together in the centres.
With three changes to the starting line-up, Andy Farrell selected nine Irish players in his starting XV.
Prop Andrew Porter has been selected ahead of Ellis Genge, while lock Ollie Chessum has replaced the injured Joe McCarthy.
Tuipulotu has been left out of the matchday 23, with Alex Mitchell, Farrell and Blair Kinghorn providing backline cover on the bench.
Welshman Jac Morgan has also been named on the bench.
Head coach Andy Farrell said: said: 'We have put ourselves in a good position after the First Test, but we know there will be a massive reaction from this Wallaby team.
'Everyone saw the quality they have in Brisbane and we know we will have to be a lot better than we were last week.
'The opportunity to play in front of 100,000 supporters at the MCG, one of the world's most iconic stadiums, is what makes Lions Tours unique and special.
'And we know our Lions supporters will get behind the team on Saturday and create a fantastic atmosphere.'

Willie John McBride on his pride at being Lions skipper: ‘They were a remarkable bunch of men'
Rugby legend Willie John McBride has spoken of his pride at captaining the British and Irish Lions and hailed his charges as 'a remarkable bunch of men'. The Ballyclare man toured with the Lions five times, including as skipper of one of the most successful sides which returned undefeated from South Africa in 1974.

Maro Itoje reveals stance on future Lions tour destinations
Maro Itoje has suggested that he would prefer that the British and Irish Lions keep touring Australia, New Zealand and South Africa rather than stray from tradition and visit elsewhere. The Lions have been to each of the three nations in turn every four years since 1989 and their history visiting each extends back into the 19th century. The touring side's hierarchy have, however, suggested that they are open to considering other options for tours in the future, with the one-sided nature of some of the tour games in Australia this year intensifying speculation that visits to other countries could precede a Test series in the future. France are reportedly in discussions over potentially hosting a game ahead of the women's tour in 2027 and men's tour to New Zealand in 2029, while prominent former players, including ex-Lions scrum half Matt Dawson, have suggested that a full tour of the country should happen. Itoje, though, errs on the side of a traditionalist, and admits that preserving the long history of the Lions is something that appeals to him. 'I thought about this at the beginning of the tour,' Itoje admitted. 'With the three nations [the Lions] tour, there's a strong sense of history and tradition. 'Perhaps the Lions is the last of the traditional organisations in the modern era. Part of me is keen for it to continue to rotate among the three countries it does. 'But, that being said, you have to stay relatively open minded. As it stands, the three nations it tours is pretty good. It wouldn't feel the same if we took a short haul flight. It needs a long haul flight!' This is Itoje's third trip with the touring side with the captain set to make his ninth Test appearance, and eighth start, in the third encounter with the Wallabies in Sydney this weekend. The lock has led the side to his first series victory after a draw in New Zealand in 2017 was followed by a 2-1 defeat in South Africa four years ago. 'It's been without a shadow of a doubt one of the highlights of my career,' Itoje said. 'When I am old and grey these occasions and these tours are going to be one of the experiences, I look back with extreme fondness [on]. 'This is something the players want and the players will continue to want for decades and for as long as rugby is being played. And it's something that I think world rugby wants. I know for each of the southern-hemisphere teams that the Lions tour – Australia, New Zealand and South Africa – it provides a huge sense of excitement for all of those three nations. And it adds an extra bit of spice and intrigue to the Six Nations when it's Lions year. So I am struggling to see the negatives. It is a great occasion, it is a great event and long may it continue.'

Maro Itoje eager to preserve ‘history and tradition' of Lions tours
But three days after leading Andy Farrell's men to a series-clinching victory over the Wallabies, with Saturday's final Test in Sydney still to play, Itoje revealed his preference is for the Lions' heritage to be preserved. Maro Itoje celebrates the Lions' series-clinching win (David Davies/PA). 'I thought about this at the beginning of the tour. My answer is, with the three nations that the Lions tour, there's a strong sense of history and tradition,' Itoje said. 'Perhaps the Lions is the last of the traditional organisations in the modern era. Part of me is keen for it to continue to rotate among the three countries it does. But, that being said, you have to stay relatively open-minded. 'As it stands, the three nations it tours is pretty good. Also it wouldn't feel the same if we took a short-haul flight. It needs a long-haul flight.' The Lions' passage through Australia had been something of a procession until they reached Melbourne, where they were pushed to the brink first by the First Nations and Pasifika XV and then the Wallabies. The 29-26 triumph in the second Test, made possible by overturning an 18-point deficit, will go down as one of the greatest games in their history and has provided validation for the entire 2025 expedition. Furthermore, with a record crowd for a Lions match in attendance at Melbourne Cricket Ground, it was a reminder of their pulling power, with Itoje insisting the institution described by manager Ieuan Evans as a 'glorious anachronism' is here to stay. 'It's been without a shadow of a doubt one of the highlights of my career,' said Itoje, who was also part of the 2017 and 2021 tours. 'When I am old and grey these occasions and these tours are going to be one of the experiences I look back on with extreme fondness. 'It's the aspiration of every British and Irish rugby player. I'd be surprised if you can find a British and Irish rugby player who says they don't want to be a Lion or they don't want to play for the Lions. 'This is something the players want and the players will continue to want for decades and for as long as rugby is being played. And it's something world rugby wants. 'It adds an extra bit of spice and intrigue to the Six Nations when it's Lions year. So I am struggling to see the negatives. It's a great occasion, it's a great event and long may it continue.' If the Lions prevail at Accor Stadium on Saturday, they will become the first team to whitewash the hosts in a Test series since 1927. 'We still have a job to do. We want to be part of something very special,' Itoje said. 'Winning a Lions series is obviously extremely special, but what would be an absolute dream would be to go out there and perform to the level that we think we can perform and win the third game. 'That's the exciting for us – we want to chase down the performance we have been searching for.'
