Stander to start for Lions against Hurricanes

Munster’s CJ Stander will start for the Lions against the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

The number 8 has been included in the starting XV for the final midweek game on tour and a last chance for players to force their way into the mind of Warren Gatland for selection for the final two tests.

Ulster and Ireland hooker Rory Best will again captain the side with fellow Ulster man Ian Henderson in the second row and Leinster’s Robbie Henshaw in the centre.

Kick off against the Hurricanes at the Westpac Stadium, Wellington is 8:35am Irish time.
