JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Wales lock Adam Beard will complete a remarkable turnaround in career fortunes on Wednesday when he runs out for the touring British & Irish Lions in South Africa as they take on the Sharks in their second tour match at Ellis Park.

The 25-year-old was drafted into the Lions squad as a late replacement for injured captain Alun Wyn Jones on the eve of their departure last week, and less than a year after being dropped by his country.
