The British & Irish Lions side to face the Maori All Blacks on Saturday in what’s being billed as the “4th test” of the tour has been named.

England’s Owen Farrell has suffered a grade one quadriceps strain in training and has been ruled out of the fixture. He will be replaced on the bench by Wales fly-half Dan Biggar as Johnny Sexton gets the nod at 10. Peter O’Mahony will captain the side.

For local fans, there’s good news for Leinster’s Sean O’Brien who starts at 7.
