Dan Sheehan Captain The British and Irish Lions during his beginnings for the team while head coach Andy Farrell brings 13 modifications to the starting XV for the Clash force against Western on Saturday in Perth.
The 2025 Lions team suffered a defeat during their first match on Argentina in Dublin last week, with the Sione Tuipulotu center and the Tadhg Beirne striker the only players to maintain their place – the latter passing from the lock to Blindside Flanker.
The first side of departure in Australia sees eight Irish players, four Scottish, two English and one Welsh – half of the Scrum Tomos Williams.
On the travel party of 38 players, only four players will not have had any participation in the Lions in the first two games: the great-back Hugo Keenan (calf) and the half-scrum Jamison Gibson-Park (glute)-who both have shots-Blair Kinghorn, who plays for Toulouse in the final on Saturday, and locking James Ryan.

The replacement bench sees three other Irish, three English and one Scot: Ronan Kelleher, Andrew Porter, Will Stuart, Ollie Chessum, Jack Conan, Alex Mitchell, Huw Jones and Marcus Smith.
“We had a good week of training and all the travel and time zone changes were very well managed, so we are ready to leave,” said Farrell.
“Dan Sheehan has the opportunity to direct the camp against Western Force, which is a great honor for him and his family – then congratulations to Dan while he captain of his debut in Lions.
“We know the quality and experience of strength and the opportunity to play against Lions always highlights special performances on the sides of the super rugby, so we expect them to be their best.”
