How the British and Irish Lions XV would look based on statistics

Emotions run high when it comes to Lions selection so RUCK has teamed up with the Stats Zone to turn to the numbers and pick a team based on Six Nations performances alone.

BACK-THREE:

15. Stuart Hogg (Scotland), 14. Anthony Watson (England), 11. Louis Rees-Zammit (Wales)

Two tries and 305 metres ensure the Scotland captains spot at fullback in this Lions XV. Meanwhile, Rees-Zammit and Watson continue to go head-to-head in the battle for top try scorer after both took their tally to four on Saturday. The Wales winger also has two try assists.


CENTRES:

13. George North (Wales), 12, Robbie Henshaw (Ireland)

Henshaw has made more carried (57) than any other back while North has adapted well to his new position in the midfield, scoring two tries.
