Chris Harris was shocked by his selection for the British & Irish Lions after being named on Tuesday in the starting lineup to take on South Africa in the second test on Saturday.

The Scotland international replaces Elliot Daly at outside centre in one of three changes made by coach Warren Gatland to the starting XV for the clash at the Cape Town Stadium.“We had training in the day and it was hard to tell what the team would potentially be. It was a surprise, a nice surprise for me. I was a bit taken aback when my name was read out by Warren, but I am absolutely delighted,” the 30-year-old told a news conference on Tuesday.“Elliot was the first to congratulate me.

“It is tough to take and I had to deal with it last week. You have to just get over that, push on and train to the best of your ability."
