10. Finn Russell (Scotland) – “I am not convinced that Gatland will agree with me but I have selected Finn at ten simply because he can win a match for you or enable someone to do so.”
9. Conor Murray (Ireland) – “. I am not a great Ben Youngs fan and I think Ali Price has a few things to work on. I would back up Murray with Gareth Davies of Wales on the bench.”
FRONT-ROW:
1. Wyn Jones (Wales) – He does it all, scrummages strongly, carries and defends with aggression
2. Ken Owens (Wales) – He has been crucial to the Welsh revival in the Six Nations following that forgettable autumn series.
3. Tadhg Furlong (Ireland) – Furlong is a big beast of a man and you need to meet and match the Springboks for power in the forwards
