Hurricanes aiming to blow away wounded tourists

Tomorrow’s British & Irish Lions team selected to face the Hurricanes have been reminded there are still Test places to play for.

Head coach Warren Gatland named his matchday 23 to face Super Rugby’s reigning champions at Wellington’s Westpac Stadium as the Lions arrived in New Zealand’s capital city the day after their 30-15 bashing by the All Blacks at Eden Park, Auckland.

The forwards lost the physical battle in the set-piece and at the breakdown to a dominant pack while there were some costly errors and a lack of clinical finishing that has put the midweek Lions on alert that they can still play a part in the Test series, which resumes in Wellington this Saturday.
