Matt Dawson will get a chance to let his rugby do the talking when he lines up for the Lions against Super 12 champions ACT Brumbies in Canberra.

Matt Dawson will get a chance to let his rugby do the talking when he lines up for the Lions against Super 12 champions ACT Brumbies in Canberra.

Former England captain Dawson, who criticised the Lions coaching staff in a newspaper 'tour diary', is among 14 changes from the victorious first Test side.

Back-row forward Martin Corry is retained following the Test, a move forced on the management after Colin Charvis collected a two-match ban.

England hooker Dorian West makes his Lions debut, the versatile Austin Healey finds himself on the left-wing, full-back Iain Balshaw has another chance to belatedly discover some form and Test team captain Martin Johnson is on the bench.
