#2. Maro Itoje (England)
Rugby Pass: “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.”
Our thoughts: He is a force of nature. In a beaten team, he still makes a huge impact. In massive games, you know he will turn up.

Rugby Pass: “he wing has been in clinical form and defensively has coped well with his responsibilities. It would be surprising to see him miss out at this point.”
Our thoughts: Adams has developed from an out-and-out finisher into a roving wing who can influence games everywhere.
