BREAKING: The British and Irish Lions team for the third Test named

The British & Irish Lions have named an unchanged starting line-up and bench for the third Test at Eden Park on Saturday.

Sam Warburton will again lead the 23 who secured victory in the 2nd Test in Wellington – the first time since 1993 that the Lions have kept the same XV for consecutive Tests.

The All Blacks named their team a few hours ago.

Head Coach Warren Gatland said: “It is not very often on a Lions Tour that you get to pick the same 23 for the following game."
