Owen Farrell (Saracens, England) will replace Dan Biggar (Northampton Saints, Wales) in the starting XV for tonight’s clash with South Africa ‘A’ at Cape Town Stadium.

The England captain will start at fly-half owing to a minor ankle sprain to Biggar picked up in training yesterday.

Elsewhere, Anthony Watson (Bath Rugby, England) moves to the left wing to replace Josh Adams (Cardiff Rugby, Wales), with Liam Williams (Scarlets, Wales) drafted in to start at full back.

Adams, the Tour’s top try scorer, drops out of the matchday squad to join his partner via Zoom to witness the birth of his first child.

"Dan’s got a minor ankle sprain which is not worth risking, so Owen comes in at 10," said The British & Irish Lions Head Coach, Warren Gatland.

"We’ve always said family comes first, so naturally Josh drops out as planned to be with his partner. We wish them both our very best wishes for an easy delivery."
