Chris Robshaw picks Marler and Simmonds in his Lions XV

BACK-ROW:

  • 6. Taulupe Faletau (Wales)
  • 7. Tom Curry (England)
  • 8. Sam Simmonds (England)

Robshaw said: “Faletau at six. Big carrier, good the lineout. I’m going Tom Curry at seven. He is England’s best player at the moment and potentially the first name on England’s team sheet.”

HALFBACKS:

  • 9. Kieran Hardy (Wales)
  • 10. Finn Russell (Scotland)

Robshaw said: “Nine I was a little bit unsure but I’m going to go with the Welsh lad [Kieran] Hardy. The game against England he was pretty good. Finn Russell at 10. The player he is and the stuff he can do is pretty special.”
