Bundee Aki or Sione Tuipulotu? Jac Morgan or Tom Curry? The analysts at Opta have crunched the numbers to produce a Lions XV based on autumn performances.
In the 12 months building up to a Lions tour, the autumn internationals often mark the point at which fans and pundits start to deliberate over their potential Lions XV.
Wales' miserable autumn means they have no players who made the line-up, although the likes of Jac Morgan, James Botham and Dewi Lake were not far off selection.The Glasgow fly-half made his debut for Scotland during this year's Autumn Nations Series, featuring at full-back, and settled in comfortably.
He also assisted five line breaks, the most by any non-half-back, while he made the joint-most line breaks of any British or Irish player .At 34, Bundee Aki is still as important as ever in the Irish midfield, proving to be one of their key attacking outlets again this autumn. Spencer made his first start for England against New Zealand after six replacement appearances for his country
The 30-year-old has started in 20 of Scotland's 21 games against top-tier opposition since the beginning of 2022-23. At the scrum, Scotland won seven penalties on their own feed while Fagerson was packing down in the front row. South Africa's Gerhard Steenekamp was the only other prop to be part of as many penalty-winning efforts .
