How the Lions team looks for second Test: changes possible in the backline

One win in the books and with a chance to secure a first Lions series victory in 12 years now just 80 minutes away at the MCG this Saturday, will Andy Farrell stick or twist with his selection from the 27-19 success in Brisbane?

Full-back: Hugo Keenan had a relatively free run to his Lions Test debut at number 15 once Blair Kinghorn was ruled out with a knee injury sustained 10 days before the series opener. Head coach Farrell said he was hopeful Kinghorn could pass fit to face the First Nations & Pasifika XV at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium on Tuesday and a positive comeback for the Toulouse and Scotland playmaker could put some serious pressure on his Ireland counterpart. Keenan had a mixed performance at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday and will be cursing having his pocket picked by Wallabies wing Max Jorgensen as the pair came down from an aerial battle each with hands on the ball. Jorgensen raced over the line to score. That may work in Kinghorn's favour if he can get back to match readiness this week.
