Lions' first-choice half-backs unite for first time against Queensland
Briefly

The injury to Tomos Williams has left the British & Irish Lions with minimal Welsh representation, now relying on Jac Morgan as the last Welsh player. In response, Ben White has been brought in as Williams's replacement. The partnership between Jamison Gibson-Park and Finn Russell, both influential players, is highly anticipated, especially as management is eager to see their combined skills. Gibson-Park believes in the potential of this partnership despite the players previously being rivals, and their collaboration is seen as a pivotal moment for the Lions going forward.
The mere fact Russell is the solitary squad member asked to back up from last Saturday shows the management's urgent desire to see their twin playmakers combine on the field.
Gibson-Park's firm belief, though, is that he and Russell could have a productive and exciting future together. Finn Russell is the only Lion who started against Western Force on Saturday to double up.
