British & Irish Lions XV Using Abroad Players ONLY

RUCK takes a look at what the British & Irish Lions XV would be if you could only pick players playing outside the UK and Ireland.

Imagine the scenario, the UK and Ireland are on lockdown after Boris Johnson has one too many beers.

Head coach Warren Gatland now needs to assemble a squad of players around the world to take on the Springboks.

We’ve also included players who are set to move abroad for the 2021/22 season.

BACK-THREE:

  • 15. Alex Goode (England) – NEC Green Rockets/Japan
  • 14. Simon Zebo (Ireland) – Racing 92/France
