Cork's Eddie Dunbar confirmed to make his Tour de France debut
Dunbar has been confirmed as part of an eight-strong Jayco AlUla team, headed up by Australian Ben O'Connor as he targets the race's famous yellow jersey, and sprinter Dylan Groenewegen who will be chasing stage victories.
'We believe we have put together our strongest line-up, well suited to this year's edition,' general manager Brent Copeland said.
'It is never an easy task to put together a team line-up with dual ambitions, however, we are confident we have a great balance of riders.'

Owen Farrell to link up with dad Andy after surprise Lions call-up
Owen Farrell has been given a surprise call-up to join the British and Irish Lions' tour of Australia, stepping in for the injured Elliot Daly. The Lions have been dealt a blow with the news that Daly, who has been in top form during the Australian tour, will be sidelined for the remainder of the tour due to a fractured forearm sustained in Wednesday's 52-12 triumph over Queensland Reds. Instead of opting for a like-for-like replacement such as Blair Murray from Wales or Scotland's Tom Jordan, head coach Andy Farrell has chosen his 33 year old son to plug the gap in his squad. It is a controversial decision given Farrell's most recent Test appearance was in the bronze medal match at the 2023 World Cup, while his ill-fated 2024-25 season with French club Racing 92 was undermined by injuries and indifferent form. 'It is heartbreaking for the group that Elliot's tour is over,' Andy Farrell said. 'He's a Lions legend who has added so much to the group on and off the field over the past few weeks and over the course of three tours. 'Owen will now come in and add to our options and bring his own Lions experience to the group.'

Rúaidhrí O'Connor: Lions must ignore the big scorelines and home in on their flaws
Australian rugby is hoping this Lions tour can be the stimulus to spur a revival in rugby union Down Under and there was excitement in Brisbane about the coverage around this warm-up game and the huge crowd that turned up to see the Queensland Reds take on the tourists. Around the stadium the bars were full and there was plenty of buzz, but inside the ground the crowd seemed disconnected from the fare on the field and there were long periods of eerie silence as the two sets of players went about their business.

Queensland Reds 12 British & Irish Lions 52: Maro Itoje leads by example as tourist make it two from two in Australia
MARO ITOJE led from the front as his Lions made it two from two on Australian soil with his tourists hit the Reds for an eight-try half century. But Andy Farrell's men had a late injury worry when Elliot Daly, himself a late call-up to the starting XV, went off with an arm injury after 66 minutes. 2 Maro Itoje celebrates with a team-mate Luke Cowan-Dickie Credit: AFP And Itoje went down after a blow on the shoulder late on but carried on to ensure his side got over the line safely. Daly was attempting a tackle on home full-back Jock Campbell when he pulled up holding his left arm and was replaced then later seen with blood coming from a bandage on the limb. Itoje was everywhere for the Lions, dominating the line outs, bossing the breakdown and scoring a try in the second half. There were other pluses for boss Andy Farrell with fly-half The Lions were hit by the late withdrawal of Ireland full-back Hugo Keenan, who was listed as sick, and Daly was parachuted in from outside the 23 to start. Keenan has not played on the tour so far, after a calf injury, but is expected to be fit to face the Waratahs in Sydney on Saturday with time running out to make a claim for a Test spot. That means the versatile Saracen has been named in a Lions 23 for the last 11 games stretching back to the tourists' opening game in South Africa in 2021. The Lions led 21-21 at the break but had been given the hurry-up by a Reds side who drew first blood through former Wasps prop Jeff Toomaga-Allen on seven minutes.

Itoje's side then returned fire with a double salvo from prop Andrew Porter and Van der Merwe before the skipper stormed over off a short pass from Jamison Gibson-Park on 44 minutes. Morgan, now the only Welsh player left on tour, finished it as a contest when he hit a strong line off Alex Mitchell's pass to cap a great evening for the Osprey. Freeman grabbed a second and Huw Jones ran in from 50 metres before Daly was forced off but the Lions were home and hosed. 2 British and Irish Lions' made in two for two Credit: AFP
