THE door is still ajar for Jac Morgan to force his way into the British and Irish Lions Test team as Andy Farrell promised his mind is open when it comes to selection for Saturday's showdown in Melbourne.

The Wales captain starts in the back row for the Lions against the First Nations and Pasifika XV today at Marvel Stadium, having missed out on selection for the first Test victory in Brisbane.

Farrell said the final midweek fixture of the tour provides players with a chance to earn a Test spot.

He said: “The coaches’ minds are open when it comes to selection, they have to be with so many players performing and pushing for places and we want that to continue for the remaining two Tests.”
