Powerhouse centre Tuilagi returns to help tourists' cause for Rebels clash He's back: Manu Tuilagi will play against the Rebels. While the Wallabies sweat on the fitness of no less than five back-line players, the Lions will welcome back powerful midfielder Manu Tuilagi for Tuesday's fixture against the Rebels in Melbourne. The Samoan-born England centre will start alongside Brad Barritt against a Rebels side boasting new recruit Luke Burgess but missing Wallabies Scott Higginbotham, Kurtley Beale, James O'Connor and Nick Phipps. Tuilagi has recovered from a shoulder injury sustained against the Reds two weeks ago and will play in a back line led by Owen Farrell at five-eighth and Rob Kearney at fullback. English second-rower Geoff Parling will captain the squad against the Rebels, who will be lead by Welsh No.8 Gareth Delve. Lions winger Tommy Bowe was not named in the side and is being given every chance to recover from a hand injury in time to play in the second Test this weekend. Lions coach Warren Gatland said they were pleased to have momentum on their side going into the Rebels match after losing to the Brumbies in the lead-up to their 23-21 win in the first Test in Brisbane on Saturday. "Tuesday night is another opportunity for players to go out there and impress because we won't sit down and think about selection for the Test side until after the match," he said. We were disappointed with the Brumbies result but it was a gentle reminder, a wake-up call about making sure there were certain things we needed to concentrate on in the Test match. The Lions named a fierce forward pack boasting Toby Faletau, Sean O'Brien and Dan Lydiate in the back row, with Ryan Grant, Richard Hibbard and Dan Cole in the front row and Parling and Richie Gray in partnership in the second row. Back-rower Justin Tipuric was named in the reserves along with Ireland prop Tom Court, who was called into the squad as injury cover for Alex Corbisiero on Sunday night. Corbisiero injured his calf in the first Test and will be assessed throughout the week. Second rower Paul O'Connell also picked up an injury, to his arm, in the Test match. He will be monitored as the week draws on.
