LIST | 5 Lions hopefuls who did their chances no favours this weekend

We could have just picked five Wales players, but we've made it a maximum of two players per team...

Wales were shocking in Ireland and it’s a safe bet that Williams and James Lowe will not be exchanging Christmas cards, with the pair having fought a running battle for much of the game. The speedster was typically feisty but gave away a couple of penalties and couldn’t impose himself in attack. He's got credit in the bank from 2017, but he has to be better than this.

An outsider for a Lions spot, a huge performance on his first start could have caught Gatland's attention. However, he was starved of the ball as England's big boys up front took the energy out of the Georgian pack. Tackles 0, Runs 4m Metres 2.

It wasn’t a night Jones will look back on fondly. He grafted until the end and made his tackles, but Wales were dominated by the Irish pack.

The Scotland captain wasn't great. Didn't make many runs, kicked the ball away rather aimlessly before getting caught when waiting for a chip over the top to dribble its way across Scotland’s line, with Luke Pearce spotting the Exeter Chief carrying it over.

Missed out on selection against Italy and France despite strong performances with Leinster. Worked hard but a quiet night by his standards which you can't afford due to the competition for places in 2021. It's looking like Gatland will selec six back-rowers from 30 contenders. Uninspiring.
