Andy Farrell’s tourists take on the Wallabies for the first time since 2013, with the Lions winning the series 2-1 after victories in Brisbane and Sydney were enough to outdo their Melbourne defeat.
Now, with fresh faces in the squad, they are back Down Under to face an Australian side that have not been in good form.
Joe Schmidt’s side lost to both Scotland and Ireland in the Autumn International series last year, although they did upset England at Twickenham before that.
This year, Farrell has made some surprising calls in his first Test XV selection, including the likes of Sione Tuipulotu and Huw Jones in midfield, with Finn Russell ahead of them at stand-off to complete an all-Scottish midfield trio for the first time ever.
Tom Curry has got the nod over Josh van der Flier at flanker as well, while Hugo Keenan remains at full-back in Blair Kinghorn’s absence.
