No Welsh players in British & Irish Lions Test team for the first time in 129 years

It'll be the might of Ireland, England and Scotland against Australia.

Backrower Jac Morgan was the only Welshman left in the touring group in Australia when scrumhalf Tomos Williams suffered a tour-ending hamstring injury more than two weeks ago.

Morgan's impressive appearances in the lead up to the three-Test series against Australia weren't enough to earn him a spot in a back row comprising of Irish No. 8 Jack Conan and blindside flanker Tadhg Beirne and England openside Tom Curry.

England's Ollie Chessum and Ben Earl were picked as cover off the bench.
