British and Irish Lions coach Andy Farrell made two changes to his team for the third Test against the Wallabies in Sydney on Saturday.
Blair Kinghorn will replace James Lowe on the left wing and James Ryan comes in for Ollie Chessum at lock.
Ryan is one of nine Irish players in the starting line-up and is the third different lock partner for skipper Maro Itoje in the series, which the Lions lead 2-0.

Aussie-born winger Mack Hansen has missed out despite expectations he would be selected.
Chessum drops to a bench that has a 6-2 split – with Owen Farrell and Alex Mitchell the chosen backline players.
Eleven of the Lions have been chosen to start all three Tests with Farrell opting against sentimental selections with the series won.
Winger Josh van der Flier, who was a star of the non-Test games on tour, is an unlucky omission.
“We have put ourselves in position to finish this tour with our best performance to date and create our own piece of history,” Farrell said. “Last weekend’s Test match was an incredible spectacle. We are expecting another epic battle this weekend.”
Lions (1-15): Andrew Porter, Dan Sheehan, Tadhg Furlong, Maro Itoje (c), James Ryan, Tadhg Beirne, Tom Curry, Jack Conan, Jamison Gibson-Park, Finn Russell Blair Kinghorn, Bundee Aki,, Huw Jones, Tommy Freeman, Hugo Keenan.
Replacements: Ronan Kelleher, Ellis Genge, Will Stuart, Ollie Chessum, Jac Morgan, Alex Mitchell, Owen Farrell.
