In eight months’ time, the 2025 British and Irish Lions will be packing their bags and jetting off to Australia for the next instalment of one of sport’s most iconic tours.
Ten matches – including three Tests against the Wallabies and one against Argentina – across a month-and-a-half as the Lions aim for their first series win since their voyage to the same soil 12 years ago.
The countdown is on for Andy Farrell to pick his squad and, until that selection is made next spring, the Home Nations players have less than 10 international matches to prove they have what it takes for European rugby’s most prestigious call-up.
Here, Telegraph Sport picks its squad, taking in fitness and form, as if they were to travel tomorrow, and this group will be updated at the end of the autumn to take into account those who perform particularly impressively.
