Former British and Irish Lion Matt Dawson picks his team for first Test with Elliot Daly and Sam Simmonds among his shock inclusions.
Matt Dawson: Lions XV for the BBC
BACK-THREE:
- 15. Liam Williams (Wales)
- 14. Anthony Watson (England)
- 11. Josh Adams (Wales)
Dawson said: “Unfortunately for Stuart Hogg, he needed to face Test-match intensity opposition and he has not. I do not think he has shown himself to be any better under pressure than Liam Williams, who has been pretty faultless.”
CENTRES:
- 13. Elliot Daly (England)
- 12. Bundee Aki (Ireland)
Dawson said: “I was torn between Robbie Henshaw and Bundee Aki. I would go with Henshaw because Aki is maybe a bit more predictable. Henshaw can still do the hard yards.”
