Paul O’Connell picks no Welsh in his 2021 Lions XV

SECOND-ROW

  • 4. Maro Itoje (England)
  • 5. James Ryan (Ireland)

“He is obviously a world-class athlete, he is a phenomenal second-row forward. I like watching him play. I’m surprised he doesn’t give away more penalties than he does but he is always pushing the limits around the ruck, around the offside line. Brilliant at collapsing mauls, brilliant at stopping teams mauling.”


BACK-ROW

  • 6. Tom Curry (England)
  • 7. Sam Underhill (England)
  • 8. Caelan Doris (Ireland)
