Edinburgh hooker Ross Ford has been handed the number two jersey for the British and Irish Lions for tonight’s match against the Emerging Springboks at Newlands (Tuesday 22 June, kick off 6.10pm, live on Sky Sports).

Meanwhile, Edinburgh captain Mike Blair has been named amongst the replacements for the match with spots in the Test side up for grabs ahead of the next match against the world champions on Saturday (27 June, kick off 2pm).

Remember that next season both Ross and Mike will swap the Lions logo for the Castle badge as the team everyone is talking about challenge for honours, both in the Magners League and the Heineken Cup.
