HALFBACKS:
- 10 Finn Russell (Scotland)
- 9 Tomos Williams (Wales)
Phillips said: “I’ve picked Finn Russell at fly-half. I want to be entertained in my old age and he’s very entertaining, so I look forward to watching him play. Tomos Williams goes in at scrum-half and although he got injured, he should be back. I think Kieran Hardy has a chance of going as well.”
FRONT-ROW:
- 1 Cian Healy (Ireland)
- 2 Ronan Kelleher (Ireland)
- 3 Kyle Sinckler (England)
Phillips said: “In the front row, I’ve gone for Kyle Sinckler at tighthead and Ronan Kelleher at hooker. He looks a machine for Ireland, although you could put Ken Owens in there as well. Cian Healy has been a Lion before and I’ll go with him at loosehead.”
