Pick your Lions squad

My 38 would be:

Fullbacks: Hogg /Mike Brown

Wings: North/ Watson / Yarde / Zebo

Centres: Joseph / Henshaw / Davies / Williams / Tuilagi

Flyhalves: Farrell / Sexton / Biggar

Scrumhalves: Youngs / Murray / Rhys Webb

Looseheads: McGrath / Marler / Vinipola

Hookers: Best / Owens / Hartley

Tightheads: Cole / Furlong / Brooks

Locks: Lawes / Launchbury / Richie Gray / Henderson / Kruis

Loosies: CJ Stander / O’Brien / Billy / Warburton / Toje / Tipuric / Heaslip

My bolters are Tuilagi at centre who has not played much and is injury prone, plus Kieran Brooks at tighthead, who was in the England side last year got injured and has been leapfrogged this year by young Sinclair in the England squad, who for the record is good.

Difficult to leave the following out: Faletau, O’Mahony, Wood, Haskell, Jonny Gray, Care, Laidlaw, Ringrose, Daly, Liam Williams, May and Nowell

I like Brown, always looks to counter and always seems to beat the first defender or find space.

Hogg will start at 15, so Brown would make my midweek side

As for captain, that is so hard as he has to be a certain starter

For me there are only two certain starters - Hogg at 15, Murray at 9

Is Warburton the best openside? He might be, but O'Brien and Tupuric are pretty good

I might just go for Best, who has captained a recent victory over the AB's, but is he the best hooker? But then none of the hookers are that great
