Lions News: Vunibola, Murray and Harris come in
Three changes have taken place in the Lions team in Cape Town this afternoon.
England’s mainstay Mako Vunipola-one of the targets of Rassie Erasmus’ criticism-shouldn’t even be involved last weekend, but due to a loose Wyn Jones shoulder injury, he was called to the bench as a cover for Rory Sutherland.
Vunipola’s huge effort in the second half had such a big impact that he started playing today. Conor Murray-he briefly served as tour captain at Alun Wyn Jones in the United Kingdom-also gained recognition for Ali Price in the scrum-half .
The outside center has also changed. Scotland’s Chris Harris prefers Elliott Daley and Robbie Henshaw.
Taulupe Faletau returned to the bench and defeated his opponent 5-3, but the Welshman Liam Williams completely missed the game.
