CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - British & Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland reshuffled his backline and front row following last weekend's test drubbing against South Africa, as he made six changes for Saturday's decisive final match.

In the backs, Josh Adams, Bundee Aki and Liam Williams come in while Ali Price is restored at scrumhalf, replacing Conor Murray, for the third encounter at the Cape Town Stadium with the series poised at 1-1.
