FORMER Gloucester captain Greig Laidlaw could play his last game in a British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand on Tuesday after being named in the starting line-up on Tuesday against the Hurricanes in Wellington.

Laidlaw’s chances of getting into the remaining two Test squads will probably mean one of the other two scrum halves – Ireland’s Conor Murray or Welshman Rhys Webb – getting injured in Saturday’s second Test .

The midweek side will be lead by Ireland hooker Rory Best.

British and Irish Lions team to face the Hurricanes in Wellington on Tuesday: J Nowell (England), T Seymour (Scotland), J Joseph (England), R Henshaw (Ireland), G North (Wales), D Biggar (Wales), G Laidlaw (Scotland), J Marler (England), R Best (Ireland, capt), D Cole (England), I Henderson (Ireland), C Lawes, J Haskell (both England), J Tipuric (Wales), CJ Stander (Ireland).

Replacements: K Dacey (Wales), A Dell (Scotland), T Francis, C Hill (both Wales), G Kruis (England), G Davies (Wales), F Russell (Scotland), J Payne (Ireland).
