'We have stated from the off that we want to give every player a start in the first three games and Wednesday is an opportunity for this set of players to show what they can do in a Lions jersey,' said Gatland.
'In terms of Ken, he has worked really hard on his recovery and its great to have him available. He has captained the Scarlets and has assumed a leadership role within the camp and it is a great opportunity for him.
'We have a few work-ons from last weekend and we know we need to be more clinical. We created some good opportunties against the Barbarians, but didn’t see them through and that is something we want to improve on Wednesday.',
