O’ Mahoney to captain Lions on Saturday

Peter O’Mahony will captain the British and Irish Lions rugby union team against the Maori All Blacks on Saturday.

Fellow Ireland international Johnny Sexton starts ahead of England’s Owen Farrell at fly-half just a week before the first Test against New Zealand.

In a 15 that head coach Warren Gatland’s previously said would be close to the one that’ll run out at Eden Park, England hooker Jamie George is also handed a start.
