On The Times website, former England fly-half Stuart Barnes has named his all-time top 10 British & Irish Lions.
Despite naming five Welshmen in his 10 all-time greats, the former England and Lions No.10 couldn't find space for Sam Warburton, despite his record as skipper on the last two tours standing up to the closest of scrutiny.
Take a look at his debatable selection:
10. Carwyn James (Wales)
9. Barry John (Wales)
8. Jeremy Guscott (England)
7. JPR Williams (Wales)
6. Martin Johnson (England)
5. Tony O'Reilly (Ireland)
4. Gareth Edwards (Wales)
3. Phil Bennett (Wales)
2. Sir Ian McGeechan (Scotland)
1. Willie John McBride (Ireland)

- 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
