ODDS: How the Lions will likely line-up against the Springboks…

With just over two weeks until Warren Gatland finalises his 36-man squad for the Lions Tour of South Africa, we’ve had a look at who the odds suggest will start the first Test against the Springboks.

Since the last time we updated the article; James Ryan, Garry Ringrose, Jamie George, Finn Russell and Sam Underhill have all fallen out of favour.

Find out who took their places by checking out how the Lions XV would shape up based on the favourites to be selected from each position.

Odds are accurate on Sunday, 25th December, 9pm, and are subject to change in the run up to the tour.
