Owen Farrell to captain Lions against Beale's Pasifika
But with the second Test at the cavernous Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday, coach Andy Farrell is not risking any injuries to his first-choice stars.
None of the Brisbane starting side are in the matchday 23 for the clash at Melbourne's Docklands Stadium on Tuesday against an untested team spearheaded by Wallabies great Kurtley Beale.
That has opened the door to a host of players looking to make a late case to play a part in the second Test, including former England captain Farrell.
He came off the bench for a solid cameo against a combined Australia-New Zealand side after his surprise call-up to replace the injured Elliot Daly.
The 33-year-old now gets the chance to start and impress his father, head coach Andy Farrell, enough to earn a bench spot for the second Test in what will be his 20th Lions appearance.
"This fixture gives players another opportunity to put their hand up for selection for the final two Tests," said Andy Farrell.
"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."
Farrell will partner Ireland's Jamie Osborne in the centre, with Scotland's Ben White at scrum-half and England's Fin Smith the playmaker at 10.
Fullback Blair Kinghorn returns from injury and forms an all-Scotland back three alongside Darcy Graham and Duhan van Der Merwe.
Up front, 102-Test veteran hooker George, who was called up last week as cover for the concussed Luke Cowan-Dickie, will pack down with Scotland's Pierre Schoeman and Irishman Finlay Bealham.
Ireland's James Ryan is partnered in the second row by Scot Scott Cummings while in the back, Wales captain Jac Morgan lines up alongside Ireland's Josh van der Flier and England's Henry Pollock.
British Lions XV (15-1):
Blair Kinghorn; Darcy Graham, Jamie Osborne, Owen Farrell (capt), Duhan van Der Merwe; Fin Smith, Ben White; Henry Pollock, Josh van der Flier, Jac Morgan; Scott Cummins, James Ryan; Finlay Bealham, Jamie George, Pierre Schoeman

Home hero Ferrand-Prevot in epic climb to Tour de France lead
Olympic mountain bike champion Ferrand-Prevot of Visma, who joined the road race scene last year, attacked from 10km out with huge crowds of home supporters on the mountainside cheering her along. Visma rider Prevot-Ferrand now leads the overall standings by a comfortable 2 minutes and 37 seconds from Australia's Sarah Gigante, albeit with a last daunting mountain stage on Sunday to seal the deal. "I just tried to go as fast as possible. If I came back to road cycling it was in an effort to win this race so I made the right choice," said the 33-year-old. "I wanted to have as big a gap as possible, it's not over yet but I'm very happy with what we did today." Gigante of AG was second atop la Madeleine at 1min 45sec, while LTK's Niamh Fisher-Black was third at 2min 15sec. "I was dreaming of winning this race," said Gigante. "But Pauline was magnificent." Overnight leader Kim Le Court-Pienaar sacrificed her ride to support Gigante, who cried when mentioning this after the race. No Frenchman has won the 21-day men's Tour de France since 1985 when Bernard Hinault won his fifth, now Ferrand-Prevot can become the first French rider to win the modern women's Tour de France in its fourth edition.

Schmidt hails 'grit and resilience' as his Wallabies upset Lions
Despite the odds being stacked against them, Australia dug deep in a drenched and lightning-hit Sydney, casting aside their disappointment at losing the second Test in Melbourne 29-26. They came out of the blocks firing with an early try to lead 8-0 and kept up the pressure, never letting the weary Lions get into their attacking groove for a deserved 22-12 win. After a passive performance in the first Test in Brisbane, Schmidt's young side went up a level in Melbourne and again in Sydney, auguring well for the future. "I'm just relieved and incredibly proud," said Schmidt, who was installed to restore Australia's reputation after a horror 2023 World Cup under Eddie Jones. "We worked really hard to build that 8-0 lead. Coming off after the lightning could've destabilised things, so to stay focused and defend well was a real testament to the players' character. "It wasn't pretty," he added. "It was all about grit and resilience. I really admired the way the players came through, they did just enough to get the job done." Their performance was all the more encouraging given they were missing flanker Rob Valetini, prop Allan Alaalatoa, hooker David Porecki and wing Harry Potter -- all first-choice picks. Victory ensured a winning send-off for retiring scrum-half Nic White, who played his 73rd and last Test. "What a game, that had everything," said White. "It wasn't always champagne rugby, but we were committed, and sometimes we were able to use our skill and other times we were desperate.

Ledecky reigns over McIntosh as record-breaking US hit back at critics
On a Super Saturday for the embattled Americans, who have been struggling with illness in Singapore, Ledecky won her seventh career world gold in the event she has made her own. But the legendary American was challenged like never before, touching the wall in a championship-record 8min 05.62sec -- a fingertip ahead of Australia's Lani Pallister (8:05.98) and McIntosh (8:07.29). It was Canadian sensation McIntosh's first defeat of the championships and ended her bid to match Michael Phelps as the only swimmer ever to win five individual golds at a single world championships. The 18-year-old has already won three golds this week in Singapore. Ledecky, 28, had too much staying power for her younger rival, with Pallister also in gold-medal contention until the final lunge for the line. "They pushed me all the way," said Ledecky, a four-time Olympic champion in the event. "I'm just really happy I could put that together. I just kept telling myself to trust my legs." The United States team, under the cosh after criticism from Olympic greats Phelps and Ryan Lochte, won three golds on the penultimate day of competition. They lead the medals table from Australia with eight golds following victories on Saturday from Ledecky, Gretchen Walsh and their mixed 4x100m freestyle relay team -- the latter in a world record time. A newly fit and firing Walsh completed a butterfly double, romping to victory in the 50m. The American, who won the 100m butterfly earlier in the week, touched the wall in 24.83sec, beating Australia's Alexandria Perkins (25.31) and Belgium's Roos Vanotterdijk (25.43). Walsh said she felt "fragile" before her 100m win after going down with a stomach bug that has swept through the American camp -- and triggered questions from Phelps and Lochte about the management of the team. She was back to full strength for the fast and furious 50m, which will become an Olympic event for the first time at the 2028 Los Angeles Games. "I'm very proud," said the 22-year-old, calling it a "rocky" competition for her despite the double success. She labelled the criticism from Phelps and Lochte "frustrating". To cap off a golden day for the Americans, they took gold in 3:18.48sec in the relay, beating Australia's previous leading time of 3:18.83 set in 2023. Aussie double delight Australia won two golds on the night to add to their haul of seven golds overall. New father Cam McEvoy powered to the men's 50m freestyle gold to go with his Paris Olympics crown and Kaylee McKeown embellished her dominance in the women's backstroke. The 31-year-old McEvoy -- who is at his seventh world championships -- reclaimed the title he won in 2023 after turning on the afterburners in the second half of the sprint to win in a sizzling 21.14sec. Britain's Ben Proud took silver in 21.26, with Jack Alexy of the United States in bronze in 21.46. McKeown added the 200m backstroke crown to her 100m title. McKeown again got the better of Regan Smith, touching the wall in a championships-record 2:03.33 to beat her American arch-rival into second place in 2:04.29. McKeown also won the 100-200 backstroke double at the Tokyo and Paris Olympics. France's Maxime Grousset also sealed a Singapore individual double with a rampant victory in the men's 100m butterfly, to complement his 50m gold.
