Andy Farrell has told his British & Irish Lions players that Saturday’s match is not a last-chance saloon scenario but the most important game of the tour so far.

The head coach named his team on Thursday to face an AUSNZ Invitational XV at the Adelaide Bowl on Saturday, a last run out before the opening game in a three-Test series with Australia seven days later.
