2021: Johnny Sexton (Ireland)
It always seemed as though the final fly-half spot was going to come down to either Finn Russell or Sexton.

Gregor Townsend’s connection with Russell and doubts over Sexton’s fitness hardly make this a surprise, but the two-time Lions tourist would likely still have backed himself to earn himself a spot.
