In a historic move, the British and Irish Lions will feature an all-Scottish fly-half and centre trio in the first Test against Australia. Finn Russell, Sione Tuipulotu, and Huw Jones are set to start, marking a significant moment for the team. With Ireland dominating the squad with eight starters and additional players on the bench, England also holds a considerable presence in the line-up. Tom Curry secures the number seven jersey after a tough competition, beating out other contenders like Jac Morgan and Josh van der Flier.
