Wales legend Sam Warburton, who captained the British and Irish Lions in 2013 and 2017, has based on current form picked his back-row to take on South Africa in 2021.
Blindside-flanker: Billy Vunipola (England)
"If they're both playing well, I don't know why you can't play Billy Vunipola and Toby Faletau. I'd love to see those two play together. That would cause some damage."
Openside-flanker: Sam Underhill (England)
“Sam Underhill is a shoo-in for the Lions tour, he has worked diligently to improve his breakdown spoiling."
Number 8: Taulupe Faletau (Wales)
"I think Toby right now is the number one front-runner for the number 8. Toby's in the same breath as the Kieran Reid, Sergio Parisse, those three for me ar the best number 8s in world rugby in the past decade."
