Liam Williams available for selection
- 1746
British & Irish Lions outside back, Liam Williams, is available for selection into the Test side after coming through his concussion protocols since he took a knock to the head against SA A.
Williams left the field looking rather groggy but indications are that he is now ready for action.
The Lions have been fortunate with regard to injuries as flyhalf Finn Russell is now the only player in the squad unavailable for selection.
"Everyone is all good to go. It’s only Finn who is missing out," assistant coach Neil Jenkins said.
"Liam has gone about his protocols and everything. He’s back in training. He trained this morning as normal.
"So everyone seems pretty fit and healthy, and obviously raring to go."
Earlier today (Tuesday), the Springboks announced their team for the first Test in Cape Town, leaving the Lions’ coaching staff with much to ponder.
"We can assess their strengths and weaknesses, if there are any weaknesses in a side of this quality,” Jenkins continued. “We will look at individuals, from the point of view of the scrums and the line-outs.
"We will look at all aspects and every area we can get a fraction of advantage. Tests matches like this will have a very thin line and there won’t be much in the game.
"It could go either way on Saturday. They (the Boks) are going to be very good, we know that, we are just looking for any fraction we can get."
