Lions squad to New Zealand: Here’s who we think is on the plane to face the All Blacks

With one selection meeting remaining this afternoon, here is the 37-man squad that we think is close to being named.

There are reportedly still a few big decisions left to be made with Warren Gatland still considering the inclusion of England captain Dylan Hartley.



Despite a poor Six Nations, reports suggest no fewer than 10 Welshman will be included while only three Scots will travel.

The Telegraph has even suggested today that Jonny Gray could potentially miss out, which would leave Tommy Seymour and Stuart Hogg to fly the Scottish flag.
