Former Lions captain Paul O’Connell has picked his Lions XV from round two of the RBS Six Nations.
The legendary lock has gone with an interesting selection, opting to reward Ken Owens with a spot in the starting line-up following his heroics against England as well as opting to slot in Jamie Heaslip in the unfamiliar role of six
Ross Moriarty’s mammoth game against Eddie Jones’ side this past weekend also sees him get a spot in the XV at eight.
O’Connell has also gone for a surprise choice at ten with George Ford in the playmaker role despite both Dan Biggar and Paddy Jackson excelling against England and Italy respectively.
Have a look at his selection below and let us know what you think.
