The Australia-New Zealand Invitational XV to face the British & Irish Lions in Adelaide this weekend features eight All Blacks and six Wallabies with winger AJ Lam the only uncapped player in the starting line-up.

Farrell has still taken the opportunity to add some additional training cover to his squad in the form of versatile Leinster back Jamie Osborne, who will fly to Brisbane on Saturday after leaving the Ireland camp ahead of their match in Portugal. He played the full 80 minutes of a weakened Ireland’s 34-5 win over Georgia in Tbilisi last weekend.
