Alun Wyn Jones has been named among the replacements for the British and Irish Lions’ clash vs the Stormers on Saturday, while Robbie Henshaw, Stuart Hogg and Marcus Smith all start.

The Welsh skipper, who was named Lions tour captain ahead of the series, will provide cover behind Wales’ Adam Beard and England’s Jonny Hill for the clash with the Stormers in Cape Town.

Elsewhere in the team, Scotland’s Hogg captains the side from fullback having returned to team following isolation for Covid-19 as a close contact, while Ireland’s Henshaw, who has not played in South Africa as yet due to a hamstring injury starts at inside centre.

This is an important game as it’s the final chance for the coaching group to see the players perform prior to the start of the Test Series.
