Eight Ireland players have been named in the British and Irish Lions starting line-up for Wednesday's match against the ACT Brumbies as Lions Andy Farrell has named his strongest yet.
The game in Canberra is shaping up to be a dry run for the first Test against Australia.
Maro Itoje leads the side as part of a second-row partnership with Joe McCarthy and across the starting XV there are picks considered first choice, including half-backs Jamison Gibson-Park and Finn Russell.
The all-Ireland combination of Bundee Aki and Garry Ringrose have been chosen in the centres and Blair Kinghorn makes his first start at full-back having joined the squad late because of his Top 14 duties with Toulouse.
The Leinster duo of Dan Sheehan and Tadhg Furlong at hooker and tight-head, while there's another Leinster man in at No. 8 as Jack Conan is given the nod to start.
Tommy Freeman and James Lowe are the favourites to fill the wings against Australia in Brisbane and both are present, with Mack Hansen adding back-three cover from the bench against his former Super Rugby franchise.
The bench players bring Ireland's involvement in the match day squad to 12 with Ronan Kelleher, Andrew Porter, Josh van der Flier and Mack Hansen all in the running to feature in Canberra.
Also providing X-factor on the bench are back-rower Henry Pollock and versatile playmaker Marcus Smith in an opportunity for both England stars to prove they are ready to take on the Wallabies on 19 July.
Pollock was due to start Saturday's shaky 21-10 victory over the New South Wales Waratahs but withdrew shortly before kick-off because of a tight calf, an injury that has now healed.
British and Irish Lions: Blair Kinghorn; Tommy Freeman, Garry Ringrose, Bundee Aki, James Lowe; Finn Russell, Jamison Gibson-Park; Ellis Genge, Dan Sheehan, Tadhg Furlong; Maro Itoje (capt), Joe McCarthy; Ollie Chessum, Tom Curry, Jack Conan.
