British and Irish Lions

Four men who clinched the historic bronze medal in last year's World Cup are part of the group - Manuel Contepomi, Hernan Senillosa, Martin Durand and Federico Serra.

The squad will be led by physical coach Mariano Fernandez, who flew to Pensacola last week to view the facilities at the camp.

Scotland will play the Pumas near Buenos Aires on June 7 while Italy visit the country a week later.

Michael Hooper believes the British & Irish Lions' defeat to the Brumbies has given the Qantas Wallabies a boost ahead of Saturday's first Test in Brisbane.

Less than 24 hours after losing their unbeaten record in Canberra, the British & Irish Lions were given a huge boost on arrival in Brisbane when Wales wing George North was declared fit to play in the first Test on Saturday.

Qantas Wallaby wonder scrum half Will Genia is ready to torment the British & Irish Lions and end any hopes of a first Test series win in 16 years this month.
