Summary

What can we expect from Owen Farrell this Saturday? Will he play at 10 or 12 when when he comes off the bench? Ugo and pod favourite John Barclay discuss Andy Farrell's final team selection before the first Test in Brisbane and debate where he plans to use his son. The Lions have been forced to call in more reinforcements at full-back after Blair Kinghorn's injury. The AUNZ invitational side is out and we're expecting a physical battle for the Lions in Adelaide. Plus, we ask John to pick his Test back row and get him to break down where it's going wrong at the breakdown.
