Springboks v British Lions, 1st Test: 5 tantalising match-ups


Trevor Nyakane v Wyn Jones/Ox Nche v Tadhg FurlongThe front row battle, as always, will be immense on Saturday, with set-piece dominance considered key for both camps. Nyakane was robbed of his 2019 World Cup spot because of injury, and this is his opportunity to make a statement in Bok colours. His opponent is Tadhg Furlon - a veteran of 49 Test matches for Ireland and three for the Lions back in 2017. Faf de Klerk v Ali PricePrice's selection ahead of Conor Murray, who was due to captain the Lions before the return of Alun Wyn Jones, came as a surprise. The same can be said for Wyn Jones, who will serve as an inspiration for the Lions just by being on the park.
