6 players who SHOULD have been in the Lions squad – and who’d be out

#3. Blindside-flanker

IN: Jamie Ritchie (Scotland)

OUT: Josh Navidi (Wales)

This Lions XV came across as too ‘nice’ throughout the test series. Although the boys were undoubtedly up for the physical battle – every time the momentum began to shift, they crucially couldn’t wrestle back control.

Although Ritchie isn’t the best technical rugby player around the field, he has that nasty edge to his game that makes him the perfect sort of character for when the going gets tough. He wouldn’t have taken a backward step for the tourists.
