Lawrence Dallaglio leaves Sam Underhill out of his 2021 Lions XV

LK: Maro Itoje (England, capt)

“Obviously we know with distinction the great Alun Wyn Jones has led previous Lions tours. But really, Maro Itoje is in one shirt I would say. Possibly with the skipper’s armband on, given the powerful antidote that would be to Siya Kolisi’s style of captaincy.”

LK: James Ryan (Ireland)

“Even though he didn’t have his best Six Nations, James Ryan is a real leader of this Ireland side for the next three or four years moving forward.”


BF: Courtney Lawes (England)


OF: Tom Curry (England)

““I do see the seven jersey being a straight shoot-out between Tom Curry, who will go toe-to-toe with Justin Tipuric.”


N8: Taulupe Faletau (Wales)
