Pierre Schoeman wears the Lions No 1 jersey against the Force in Perth on Saturday.

The South African loosehead prop, who came off the bench in the 28-24 defeat to Argentina in Dublin to make his Lions debut, will scrum down alongside captain Dan Sheehan and Tadhg Furlong.

Sheehan is one of five starters, alongside Leinster teammates Garry Ringrose, James Lowe, Joe McCarthy and Josh van der Flier, who make their Lions debuts this weekend at the Optus Stadium.

A further four players are set to make their Lions debuts off the bench – props Andrew Porter and Will Stuart, lock Ollie Chessum and centre Huw Jones.

“We have had a good week of training and all of the travel and time zone changes have been managed really well, so we are good to go,” said head coach Andy Farrell.

“Dan gets the opportunity to lead the side against the Force, which is a great honour for him and his family – so congratulations to Dan as he captains the side on his Lions debut.

“We know the quality and experience the Force have and the opportunity to play against the Lions always brings out special performances from the Super Rugby sides, so we expect them to be at their best.”

On the 2013 tour, the Lions ran out 69-17 winners at the Subiaco Oval.
