QUIZ: Name the British & Irish Lions XV that beat the All Blacks in 2017


The Lions pulled off one of their great wins to steal a thriller against New Zealand and set up a series decider in Auckland in 2017.

When Sonny Bill Williams was red-carded for a shoulder charge – the first All Blacks sending-off in 50 years – the Lions sensed a wonderful opportunity for a historic upset in Wellington.

They went onto win 24-21, but can you remember the 15 that started that game?!

Lawrence Dallaglio names his best World XV

The former England and Wasps captain picks his ‘perfect’ World XV for The Times.

15 CHRISTIAN CULLEN (NZ): Comes down to Cullen or Serge Blanco. While Blanco might have been a great player for a longer period, Cullen’s best years were sensational

14 DAVID CAMPESE (AUS): Wasn’t always generous in his comments about England but he was a great player and, really, he walks into the team

13 JERRY GUSCOTT (ENG): The way Jerry could accelerate onto a pass made him unique in my eyes. One of those players with the ability to do something that changed a game

12 FRANK BUNCE (NZ): Lots of people will say ‘how can you not pick Tim Horan at No 12?’ Horan was a great player, a better attacker than Bunce but I loved Bunce’s physicality

11 JONAH LOMU (NZ): If only for the matches he played against England, he would get in, but Lomu played plenty of other great matches.
