Australians Mack Hansen and Sione Tuipulotu will return to their homeland with a power-packed British & Irish Lions side led by Maro Itoje for the eagerly awaited three-Test series against the Wallabies.
Canberra's Ireland wing Hansen and Melbourne's Scottish centre Tuipulotu are set to be key figures in the 38-strong squad for the 10-match tour that was named on Thursday in a special unveiling event at London's O2 Arena.
England's Itoje will captain the squad that features 21 forwards and 17 backs, with coach Andy Farrell hailing him as "a special person".
