Here are some of the Lions whose stock has risen immeasurably thanks to eye catching performances throughout the tour so far.

#1. Chris Harris

Consistent in both attack and defence, Harris has laid the gauntlet down to Daly and Robbie Henshaw with his performances so far. Deserves his chance to start with the second test with Gloucester facing a struggle to keep him when his contract expires in 2022.

#2. Maro Itoje

World-class. The English lock has been in excellent form at the set-piece and he has been one of the few Lions forwards to have consistent success clearing out and living with the physicality that the South African players have brought.

#3. Tadhg Beirne

The versatile lock/blindside has looked comfortable in a red jersey and has brought a presence at the breakdown that the Lions have missed in matches without him. Another star out of contract in 2022, Beirne has previously been linked with Leicester Tigers along with a big money move to France.
