Rob Valentini out of the first Test and Langi Gleeson, his replacement against Fiji, is a doubt, according to @ChristypDoran . Tom Hooper in line to start. Shame Henry Pollock's not playing. Would be fun to watch those two reacquaint themselves after their A game stoush last Nov.
Exclusive: Valetini out of Lions opener in 'huge blow'. His likely replacement is now in major doubt too. **. Ball carriers missing. Wallabies will target the Lions in the air and on the ground.

James O’Connor is back for the Wallabies for a second shot at the Lions, before he joins Leicester Tigers. Australia keep on believing in Taniela Tupou, even when he doesn’t believe in himself.
