Sam Warburton names his Lions back-row to dominate the Springboks

Blindside flanker: Sam Underhill (England)

Age: 24
Odds to make the squad: 6/5

WARBURTON SAID: "I know he didn't play any of the Six Nations, but when he's fit he punishes people. I think from a defensive point of view, him being missing is the major reason why England haven't ticked in defence. He's their one player that flies off the line and batters people from minute one to 80."

DID YOU KNOW? He studied Politics and Economics at the University of Bath

Openside flanker: Tom Curry (England)

Age: 22
Odds to make the squad: 1/3

WARBURTON SAID: "Curry and Underhill aren't the two tallest back-rowers but my god they're powerful. It's explosiveness that counts when you play flanker. Those two pack a real punch."

DID YOU KNOW? Curry is the nephew of former England hooker John Olver and cousin of former Northampton Saints and current Ealing Trailfinders fly-half Sam Olver

Number 8: Taulupe Faletau (Wales)

Age: 30
Odds to make the squad: 1/5

WARBURTON SAID: “I think Toby right now is the number one front-runner for the number 8. Toby’s in the same breath as the Kieran Reid, Sergio Parisse, those three for me ar the best number 8s in world rugby in the past decade.”
