Brothers Ben and Tom Youngs will make an emotional British & Irish Lions starting debut against Queensland Reds tomorrow.
After an incredible season that has seen them start together for their club and country, the Leicester Tigers duo will now complete a remarkable treble when they run out in the famous red shirt of the Lions.
They will be joined by fellow Tigers team-mates Geoff Parling and Manu Tuilagi in the starting XV.
This time, though, Lions head coach Warren Gatland has picked Tuilagi in his regular club position of outside-centre. He will form a hard-hitting partnership in midfield with Wales' Jonathan Davies.
Lock Parling is named alongside Scotland's Richie Gray in the second-row, while Ben Youngs partners Saracens' Owen Farrell at half-back.
Tom Youngs will have Wales' Gethin Jenkins and England's Matt Stevens on his shoulders in the front-row.
Lions skipper Sam Warburton makes his first appearance of the tour after recovering from a knee injury.
Gatland said it was always his intention to give every player in the squad a start in the opening three matches of the tour.
He said: "Two wins and two victories is great, but those two matches are building blocks as we build towards the Test series.
"We always said we would give every player a start in the first three matches, and this team reflects that.
"It also provides us with the opportunity to continue to look at different combinations. For the Reds, this includes a new centre pairing and a different front-five.
"At the same time, we have several players playing their second matches on tour and some proven combinations starting the match.
"Ben Youngs and Owen Farrell are the incumbent England half-backs, and we have an all-Welsh back-row."
After all the controversy caused by Western Force naming such a weakened outfit for the Lions' nine-try romp on Wednesday, the Reds have named a squad with nine Wallaby internationals in it, and that should provide the tourists with their first major test of the trip Down Under.
Top of that list is mercurial fly-half Quade Cooper, who has 38 caps to his name but was sensationally dropped by Aussie head coach Robbie Deans for the Wallabies' preparations for the three-Test series, which begins on June 22.
But the Reds will still be missing a number of their biggest stars, with Will Genia, James Horwill, Rob Simmons and Digby Ioane all ruled out because of either international duty or injury.
That has not stopped Reds director of rugby Ewen McKenzie, the former Stade Francais head coach, from putting out a strong side.
"Playing against the British & Irish Lions is a once-in-a-career type opportunity, so to be running out in front of a sold-out Suncorp Stadium crowd tomorrow night will be an experience these 23 players will never forget," he said.
"Our approach was always going to be to field as strong a line-up as possible, and I've got every confidence in the group we've chosen to go out and compete against a very talented Lions squad."
The Lions have not lost to an Australian provincial team for more than 40 years, when Queensland beat the touring side 15-11 back in 1971.
