Finlay Bealham was reduced to tears when he learned he had been selected for the British & Irish Lions squad -- and there'll be even more emotion now he and his two fellow Australians have been thrown in to make their debut against Argentina.
The Lions have thrust all three of their Aussie born-and-bred stars - Bealham, Sione Tuipulotu and Mack Hansen - into the team for their one-off Test against the Pumas in Dublin on Friday that will launch their eagerly awaited tour back home.
Scottish centre Tuipulotu and Irish prop Bealham are both in the starting lineup while Ireland wing Hansen is among the replacements for the international, which will be the launchpad for the three-Test trip to take on the Wallabies.
