England legend Jason Leonard has picked his drinking British & Irish Lions XV of players from down the years that he'd want with him for long sessions and it's brilliant.
Although he did make sure to pick a designated driver, which we say is VERY sensible.
Leonard’s career spanned the amateur and professional eras, and he was successful in both. It is a testament to his skill and commitment that he was able to adapt so easily to the changing rugby environment.
