LIST: 5 British & Irish Lions legends pick their 2021 bolters

We asked these five British & Irish Lions legends to select a Lions bolter for the 2021 tour. See who they picked below...

Warburton said: "Rees-Zammit still has some things to work on defensively, but that part of his game has clearly come on, and I think his pace and X factor are irresistible for a coach. I’m sure Warren will be excited to work with him."

Did you know? Having started his youth career with the Cardiff Blues, he moved to Hartpury College and from there to the academy of Gloucester Rugby.

Barnes said: "I seem to be the only person to have chosen Ireland and Leinster’s Hugo Keenan for the Lions. Here’s why. He was the best full back in the Six Nations by some distance. Quite how someone who has performed with such consistent excellence is termed a bolter is beyond me."

Did you know?  He also formerly played fly-half for the Ireland national rugby sevens team.

McGeechan said: “At scrum-half, Conor Murray is the clear favourite to be Test starter, but my bolter would be Danny Care. He offers something different from virtually every other No 9 and is in cracking form.”

Did you know? He is the only England rugby player to win medals at the Commonwealth Youth Games and the senior Commonwealth Games

Woodward said: "The Lions will need lightning-quick ball and will thrive on turnover possession. He could be devastating in South African conditions."

DID YOU KNOW? Simmonds was born in Torquay, and grew up in Teignmouth, Devon, where his father and uncle are both in the fishing industry

Woodward said: “I have been critical of Marler in recent seasons but he is in outstanding form for Quins and could, potentially, do a job for the Lions. He is also a lively character who could add to the dynamic on a testing tour."

Did you know? Marler started his rugby career at Haywards Heath RFC in Sussex where he played in the same side as fellow England international Billy Twelvetrees
