Former British and Irish Lions skipper Brian O’Driscoll has revealed the XV he believes is capable of defeating the World Champion Springboks next year.
Brian O’Driscoll’s Off The Ball Lions XV:
BACK-THREE
Stuart Hogg (Scotland), Anthony Watson (England), Jonny May (England);
“I’m going to go with Hogg instead of Liam Willimas at full-back, you are not losing a lot either way.” – O’Driscoll said on his call at fullback.
CENTRES
Jonathan Davies (Wales), Manu Tuilagi (England)
“Garry Ringrose is going to need a huge, huge year but the hard ground could suit him, but I think Jonathan Davies is the man in possession. I think that’s working in his favour even though he hasn’t shown any form because he hasn’t played since the World Cup.” – O’Driscoll said.
