During the 6 Nations the team at TalkingRugbyUnion nominated a team of 15 for each round of the tournament. We published those we expected to be selected by the Lions on their 6 Nations form – not all made it.
We then looked at those England players that might make the Argentina tour in a series of two articles; as ever we got some right and some wrong plus Eddie delivered two surprises
With those selections now confirmed we looked at a possible Lions team from the 6 Nations we had put in our teams of the round but didn’t do enough to impress Gatland.
Here is our remarkable selection:
15 Brown
14 Maitland
13 Ringrose
12 Dunbar
11 Visser
10 Ford or Russell
9 Laidlaw
8 Wilson
7 Watson
6 Haskell
5 J.Gray
4 Launchbury
3 Francis
2 Hartley
1 Evans
