Warren Gatland has made six changes to the British & Irish Lions side beaten by South Africa last week for this Saturday’s deciding final Test at Cape Town Stadium.

Munster and Ireland scrum-half Conor Murray is one of the players to drop to the bench after the 27-9 defeat last Saturday while Bundee Aki is handed a Lions Test debut at inside centre to form an Irish midfield combination with Robbie Henshaw.
