OXFORD University duo Will Rowlands and Sean Morris will play in a curtain-raising match before the third Lions Test in Sydney.

They have been selected in a World University Barbarians team to face Sydney University FC, who are celebrating their 150th anniversary.

The match takes place at Sydney’s ANZ Stadium on Saturday, July 6 before Australia host the British and Irish Lions in their tour finale.

Wing/centre Morris will take time out from playing for Oxford Rugby League for the trip, while Rowlands was recently named in the Wasps Academy.
