#3. Sean Lamont (Scotland, 105 caps)
Scotland’s third-most capped player – famed for his orange gloves – was a physical presence out wide and, after some strong showings in the 2005 Six Nations, it came as a surprise that he was overlooked by Sir Clive Woodward for that year’s tour, especially given the size of the travelling party to New Zealand. A dip in form in 2009 saw him lose his Scotland place and with that his Lions dreams were dashed.
