Western Force legend Kurtley Beale is excited to finally get his second shot at the British and Irish Lions.
This is after he was named captain of the First Nations Pasifika squad.
Beale will lead the team out tomorrow in Melbourne against the Lions, named for a rare appearance at flyhalf as one of ten internationally capped players.
He says it’s a huge honour to be able to represent the team, which has some classy players.
Beale also says all the players are leaders in their own right.
