Jamie Roberts the latest legend to select his Lions XV

15 Stuart Hogg (Scotland), 14 Anthony Watson (England), 11. Josh Adams (Wales)

ROBERTS SAID: "Adams is a potential Test starter and Liam Williams and Hogg are in a straight shootout for full-back. Watson has to start on the right wing."

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

ROBERTS SAID: "When I look at the midfield, I don't see that many candidates putting their hands up to start. Robbie Henshaw was brilliant against England - he is a Test Lion in the waiting. North is a Test Lion. He's a special player and will make the Test side, it's just a question of whether Warren Gatland starts him on the wing or in the midfield."

10 Dan Biggar (Wales), 9 Conor Murray (Ireland)

ROBERTS SAID: "With the way the Lions will want to play against the Boks, Murray is in pole position for scrum-half. I don't think Warren will want to play a high tempo; he'll want to go toe to toe at the set-piece and get it spot on tactically with a kicking game. At 10, Biggar is in great form at the minute and is very smart tactically."

1 Wyn Jones (Wales), 2 Ken Owens (Wales), 3 Tadhg Furlong (Ireland)

ROBERTS SAID: "Alongside Owens in the front row, Wyn Jones has been highly impressive. Mako Vunipola is the old stager along with Cian Healy, but Jones is the young guy. I think all three will tour. On form, Jones is the most impressive loosehead and a Lion in waiting. Tighthead is Tadhg Furlong and Kyle Sinckler. Andrew Porter will probably tour as well if they take six props."

4 Alun Wyn Jones (Wales), 5 Tadhg Beirne (Ireland)

ROBERTS SAID: "In the back-row, Faletau is uber aggressive, brilliant over the ball - just a fantastically physical back row. That balance in the back row will be really good against the Boks."

6 Hamish Watson (Scotland), 7 Tom Curry (England), 8 Taulupe Faletau (Wales)

ROBERTS SAID: "In the back-row, Faletau is uber aggressive, brilliant over the ball - just a fantastically physical back row. That balance in the back row will be really good against the Boks."
