British and Irish Lions

The New Zealand outside back replaces Jono Gibbes after the veteran lock was ruled out for six weeks with a hamstring injury.

Chiefs coach Ian Foster said: "Mils is a quality, experienced footballer and has a good feel of where the team is at. The extra responsibility that comes with being captain is a new challenge for him in his rugby career."

Foster has also recalled scrum-half Brendon Leonard after a thigh injury suffered in the defeat to the Waratahs.

Muliaina will lead the team from full-back, with Dwayne Sweeney and Callum Bruce returning to midfield.

Tom Harding (openside) and Faifili Levave (blindside) get their first starts as flankers, with Kristian Ormsby ruled out for the season with a shoulder injury.

Chiefs: M Muliaina, S Anesi, D Sweeney, C Bruce, S Sivivatu, S Donald, B Leonard; S Davison, T Willis, B May, T Lynn, K O'Neill, F Levave, T Harding,Â S Lauaki.

Reserves: V Kamo, B Castle, H Hopgood, L Messam, T Latimer, D Bason, L Masaga.

Assistant coach Graham Rowntree says The British & Irish Lions will have to be fully focussed to avoid a potential banana skin when they face The Barbarians a week today.

Three former British & Irish Lions will line-up against an England XV at Twickenham Stadium on Sunday as the Barbarians warm-up for their showdown with the 2013 tourists in Hong Kong next week.

Lions skipper Sam Warburton says the lessons he and his Welsh colleagues learnt in Australia last summer will stand them in good stead for their return visit with Britain and Ireland's elite next month.
