Both the Wallabies and the British and Irish Lions have dismissed injury doubts over key players heading into tomorrow night’s first Test at Suncorp Stadium.

Wallabies number eight Wycliff Palu failed to train at Australia’s final training session at Suncorp Stadium today while Lions duo Tom Croft and Jonathan Davies also missed the tourists’ captain’s run.

Australian officials insist the powerful Palu, who has been battling a lingering knee problem, is fit and will line up but is having his training workload managed.

Likewise, Lions defence coach Andy Farrell says blindside flanker Croft and inside centre Davies were also rested as a precaution.
