#1. Maro Itoje (England):
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 consistently succeeded in clearing out and living with the physicality that the South African players brought.

#4. Liam Williams (England)
Came into the team in the third test to bring defensive safety but ended up being rinsed by Cheslin Kolbe for the match-winning try. Williams also failed to slip in Wales teammates Josh Adams when he looked in for a certain try. He’ll be more fondly remembered for his exploits in New Zealand four years ago.

The back rower’s exclusion from the Lions side for the first Test with South Africa came after a fragmented run-in to the series during which he played bits of games here and there. Disappointing by his high standards.
