3. Mike Tindall (England)
Arguably one of England’s most consistent performers of his era, Tindall was a key member of the side that captured the Rugby World Cup crown in 2003.
But during his career, which was at times a stop-start affair because of injury, he was never able to go on tour with the Lions.
Did you know? Tindall was named a replacement for the Barbarians against the British and Irish Lions as part of their 2013 tour to Australia.
