Ian Evans says that he wants to play his way into the British and Irish Lions team to face Australia ahead of their clash with Combined Country.

British and Irish Lions lock Ian Evans has admitted that Tuesday's match with Combined Country is likely to be his last chance at earning a place in the side to face Australia later this month.

Evans, who has already featured for the tourists in their 69-17 win over Western Force, will start in what is probably going to be his final opportunity to impress before the Test series with the Wallabies against Country.

With that in mind, Evans is eager to make the most of his outing and play his way into the Test side to face Australia.

"I think [it is my last chance]," Evans told reporters.

"Any chance you get to pull the jersey on is your one shot at it.

"You've got to go out there fully loaded and put your name amongst things when the selection comes across. I suppose this is my chance really."

The match gets underway at 10.30am.
