Warren Gatland’s dream Lions XV includes only three England players

BACK-THREE:

15. Leigh Halfpenny (Wales): The fullback has deservedly picked up the player of the series crown in 2013. Didn’t quite hit the same heights in 2017.

14. George North (Wales): What a tour in 2013! Sensational individual first Test try, a fireman’s lift on Israel Folau in the second while still holding the ball and series-sealing score in finale. He wasn’t so good in New Zealand, but he still does enough to make Gatland’s XV.

11. Anthony Watson (England): The England winger survived a reckless assault from Sonny Bill Williams in the second test against the All Blacks in 2017 to provide powerful attacking running. A fantastic tour for him.
