Deans also has attacking wings in Digby Ioane, who until the weekend had not been expected to be fit, and another debutant in rugby union newcomer Israel Folau.
Even before the try that settled the midweek team’s defeat by the Brumbies, the Lions were vulnerable on the wide outside. Folau’s experience includes a rugby league career with Melbourne Storm and Brisbane Broncos followed by a year in Aussie Rules.
O’Connor is in the place many Australians would like to have gone to Quade Cooper.
Deans has another dazzler – Berrick Barnes rather than Kurtley Beale, who is in an alcoholism-recovery programme – at full-back.
Wallaby captain James Horwill will have his first Test since after missing all of 2012 after a hamstring operation.
Ben Mowen, Super 15’s leading lineout forward, is the other new cap at blindside flank.
