The Lions team to play the Queensland Reds on Saturday has been announced. Only two players remain from yesterday's facile win over the Western Force, Tommy Bowe on the wing and Manu Tuilagi at centre. Lions captain, Sam Warburton, makes his first appearance of the tour.

The Queensland Reds have also named their team.
Ben Lucas; Rod Davies; Ben Tapuai; Anthony Faingaa; Luke Morahan; Quade Cooper; Nick Frisby; Jake Schatz; Beau Robinson; Eddie Quirk; Ed O'Donoghue; Adam Wallace-Harrison; Greg Holmes; James Hanson; Ben Daley.
It's certainly a much stronger team than they faced on Wednesday, especially with the presence of Quade Cooper and Anthony Faingaa.
