Wednesday, 26 June. Lyds is indeed in, with Tom Croft dropping to the bench. Tommy Bowe comes in for Cuthie at 14. The three injury changes are pretty much as expected: Mako for Corbs at loosehead, Geoff for Paulie in the second row, Ben for Phillsy at 9.

That’s five of the starting XV – a third of the team – changed between the first and second Tests. When coaches say that Test spots are still up for grabs right until the end, those aren’t idle words. It can and does happen, and it’s up to every player to be ready to take their opportunities the moment they arrive.

This is the Lions, and it does special things to people. There’s no way, for example, that you could play a club match with the intensity of Lyds’s performance against the Rebels and then do it all over again in a Test four days later. But for the Lions, you do. You just do. You do anything. Your body finds a way to go beyond.
