Owen Farrell will make his 20th appearance in a Lions jersey as he captains a starting XV that does not include any of the players who featured in the first-Test victory against Australia. The veteran fly-half is participating in his fourth Lions tour and was given the nod as skipper ahead of fellow Englishman Jamie George.
The 33-year-old will wear the number 12 in a team that also features Ireland's Jamie Osborne, the fit-again Blair Kinghorn, Darcy Graham on the right wing and Duhan van der Merwe on the left. Fin Smith and Ben White also come back into the team after excelling in the warm-up game against AUNZ, while Ben Earl, Marcus Smith and Alex Mitchell are on the bench.
While head coach Andy Farrell is protecting his first-choice players, he will be assessing the performance of the starters against a powerful First Nations & Pasifika XV to see if any can force their way into the team for the second Test against the Wallabies on Saturday.

Detroit Tigers lose pitcher Reese Olson for season: What it means for World Series contender
Mired in a losing skid, the Detroit Tigers received some more bad news on Monday, July 28. Detroit, which has lost eight of its 10 games to start the second half of the season, will be without starting pitcher Reese Olson for the remainder of the season due to a shoulder strain, Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris told reporters on Monday. Olson has been a dependable and effective pitcher for the Tigers since debuting in 2023, as he effectively ends his 2025 season with a 3.15 ERA in 68 2/3 innings pitched with 65 strikeouts. BASEBALL HALL OF FAME 2025 INDUCTION: Best moments from Ichiro, Sabathia, more in Cooperstown Olson's injury likely played into Detroit's decision to trade for Minnesota Twins back-end starter Chris Paddack, who was acquired by the Tigers alongside fellow right-hander Randy Dobnak for minor-league prospect Enrique Jimenez. What does Olson's injury mean for the pitcher-needy Tigers? Here's what to know of where Detroit goes from here: Reese Olson injury: What it means for Detroit Tigers The Tigers, who are in first place in the AL Central standings despite their recent skid, were in need of starting pitching even before Olson's injury. The 25-year-old right-hander going down puts Detroit in a precarious position with the trade deadline looming. The Tigers used a bullpen-heavy approach in 2024 that led to their Cinderella run to the ALCS, but they'd likely prefer a traditional setup that starts with starting pitchers taking the bulk of the workload. Detroit's addition of Paddack gives the Tigers another usable arm, but likely not one it'd prefer to use in a playoff series. Paddack has a 4.95 ERA this season and hasn't finished with above 1.0 wins-above replacement in a season since his rookie year in 2016 with the San Diego Padres. The Tigers already are without Jackson Jobe, who's also out for the season, and Alex Cobb, although the veteran is hoping to return from a hip ailment before the regular season is over. Veteran right-hander Jose Urquidy, who's also on the 60-day injured list alongside Cobb, is another pitching option for Detroit. Detroit's top three starting pitchers of ace Tarik Skubal, along with Jack Flaherty and Casey Mize have been reliable, but the Tigers are almost assuredly in the market for an impact starter before the trade deadline comes at 6 p.m. ET on Thursday, July 31.

Wet weather proves no damper on West Mo Days 2025
MOBERLY LAKE, B.C. — Despite some wet conditions which hampered its beginning, West Moberly First Nations' (WMFN) annual Indigenous culture event went off without delay this weekend. West Mo Days celebrated its 37th annual event, showcasing different aspects of Indigenous culture during the last weekend of July. After months of preparation, WMFN events coordinator Daniel Desjarlais told he was exhausted after all the work to put on the event. 'I'm tired but ready to go,' said Desjarlais. 'It's not as good [a crowd] as we might normally have, but there's actually still quite a few people here. I threw up as [many] tents as I could to fight the rain and laid tarps everywhere.' To the north of the West Mo Days grounds, there were hand games tournaments and volleyball tournaments underway, and a kids' section with bouncy castles and amusement rides. It also featured helicopter flights for attendees. To the south, varied events included athletic competitions such as horseshoe, bow and arrow, axe throwing as well as non-athletic events, including tea boiling, bannock making over an open fire and dry meat contests. WMFN band councillor Clarence Willson oversaw the double-elimination horseshoe tournament, which featured 16 teams competing for cash prizes. The game is played by throwing the equine footwear at a peg marked in a sandpit in the ground, with three points going for landing it around the peg, called a ringer; two points for leaning against the peg; and one point for it being closest to the peg. 'They have got to throw it underhand,' said Willson. 'Some people get it so their horseshoe just spins enough so that when it comes in, it's flat and hits the peg. 'When guys are really good at it, they get it to a point where they can do it so it spins twice and hits.' The event welcomed First Nations families and non-Indigenous residents, some experiencing the First Nations culture for the first time. Elizabeth Adeyemi, a youth worker from Dawson Creek, 'had fun,' enjoying what West Mo Days had to offer. 'This my first time here,' said Adeyemi. 'It's fun seeing people happy and having fun together as a family.' For the first time, the beading competition was voted on by attendees using a QR code to cast their votes for best beaded necklace, moccasins hair piece and medallion. Overseer Brittany Knott said: 'Last year, we just had the pieces up and numbered. Voting was done by hand, and we took until midnight for the final tally.' Saturday evening featured the talents of Hadlen, a magician, musician and comedian, and a talent show. Sunday featured canoe racing, leg wrestling and more to finish off the three-day event. West Mo Days took place from Friday, July 25th to Sunday, July 27th. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha. Please try again.
