The latest episode of the BBC's Rugby Union Weekly line-up saw England legend Danny Care select his Lions XV with six Englishmen making his team.
Care has not played international rugby since being replaced against Japan in the 2018 autumn internationals with his face no longer fitting with England head coach Eddie Jones.
But, at 34, Care is playing as well as ever and is comfortably the form scrum-half in the Premiership.
despite being linked with a shock call-up, the playmaker has had a go at picking his starting XV:

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
