| British and Irish Lions winger George North has been passed fit for Saturday's first Test against Australia after recovering from his hamstring problem. |
| North was a doubt for the series opener at Suncorp Stadium after sustaining the injury a week ago, but assistant coach Rob Howley revealed he has fully recovered. |
| "George came through a fitness test this morning and I've never seen him in better shape. He'll be available and that's a big boost for us," Howley said. |
