The British and Irish Lions have made a late change to their starting fifteen for their second tour match against the Reds in Brisbane.

Hugo Keenan has been ruled out of the match due to illness.

His place in the starting lineup will be taken by England’s Elliot Daly.

Just a year ago, Keenan was preparing for the Paris Olympics as a member of Ireland’s Sevens squad, and now he’s staking a claim for a spot in the Lions match day 23 for that first Test against the Wallabies.

Sadly for him, until he recovers from his illness, he’ll have to wait a little bit longer for another opportunity to impress coach Andy Farrell.
