Jamie Roberts leaves Rees-Zammit out of his Lions backline

BACK-THREE::

  • 11. Duhan van der Merwe (Scotland)
  • 14. Anthony Watson (England)
  • 15. Stuart Hogg (Scotland)

Roberts said: ““That for me means Duhan van der Merwe comes in on the wing as a ball carrier. I’d love to see him on the wing as a ball carrying option. I have a feeling he is going to light up South Africa.

“Then I’d go Anthony Watson. He’s been on form and he’s fantastic in the air and has footwork and pace. And I would go Stuart Hogg at full-back.”

Did you know? He was born and grew up in South Africa, and qualified for Scotland through the three year residency rule.
