James O’Connor has returned to a Wallabies squad almost three years after his last test when the veteran flyhalf was included to face the British and Irish Lions in the first test on July 19 in Brisbane.

Owen Farrell has been named as a replacement for the Lions’ final warm-up game against an AUNZ invitational XV.

Ben Earl has hailed his experience with The British & Irish Lions so far as ‘the best thing I’ve ever done’ and now has his sights set on history.
