Lions captain Alun Wyn Jones is backing the centre partnership of Bundee Aki and Robbie Henshaw to bring some excitement for the tourists in Saturday’s final Test against South Africa.

Aki and Ireland team-mate Henshaw will renew their alliance forged in Connacht between 2014 and the latter’s departure for Leinster two years later after they were named together for the Lions’ series victory bid at Cape Town Stadium.
