Here, legendary coach Sir Clive Woodward runs down his four players to come from nowhere to make the 2021 British & Irish LIons squad to face the Springboks.
#4. Joe Marler (England)
Age: 30
Position: Loosehead-prop
Odds to make the squad: 5/2
Woodward said: “I have been critical of Marler in recent seasons but he is in outstanding form for Quins and could, potentially, do a job for the Lions. He is also a lively character who could add to the dynamic on a testing tour.
DID YOU KNOW? Marler started his career at Haywards Heath RFC in Sussex where he played in the same side as fellow England international Billy Twelvetrees
