With no Jac Morgan, for the first time since the club's inception, there is no Ospreys player in the Lions 23 for a test match. Thus ending the only club with a 100% selection rate in Lions history.

I’ve said this before this All Black era is about how great their forwards are. They need to lean into that more and more.
