McGeechan picks for the British & Irish Lions Tour 2021

Stuart Hogg (Scotland), Anthony Watson (England) & Liam Williams (Wales)

"The Test team you think you will have never actually materialised," says McGeechan. "Players always come through, but for now I'd definitely have those three. Hogg has been playing great rugby and is in. Rugby fans can book British and Irish Lions Tour Tickets on our website on exclusively discounted prices.

I'd definitely have Watson. He's great under the high ball, has unbelievable feet and would be outstanding on hard South African grounds. Liam is the one I'd go for on the left wing.

"There are others - Jordan Larmour, Jonny May, Josh Adams, George North, Andrew Conway - and one I'd be really thinking about is Elliot Daly, a really good footballer who can play in any position in the back three but he also kicks goals from halfway. With two games at altitude it that means that 10m inside your own half is in his range so that forces South Africa to have a real discipline because they know he can hurt them."

Jonathan Davies (Wales), Manu Tuilagi (England)

He's been impressed by Sam Johnson and Robbie Henshaw, but Jonathan Davies is McGeehan’s outside centre even though he was injured and missed the Six Nations. The Welshman has more than enough credit in the bank given that he was Lions player of the series three years ago in New Zealand and was magnificent for Wales in 2019, their latest Grand Slam year.

"He'd be my pick, if fit. If he's not, it's likely to be Henry Slade," McGeechan says. "I really rate his decision-making. I think he would excel with the Lions. At 12, I have to go with Manu. There's such power there. And you'll need that." Rugby fans can book British and Irish Lions Tour Tickets on our website on exclusively discounted prices.

Owen Farrell (England)

There's a shortlist of three here - Farrell, Dan Beggar and Finn Russell. McGeechan would take all three, but Farrell makes the Test team by dint of his control of a game, his big-match temperament and his dead-eye goalkicking.

"Johnny Sexton has been a magnificent player but he hasn't played really well for quite some time and he'll be 35 in July," he explains. "George Ford has played well for England, particularly when on the front foot, but the real test, as he discovered in the World Cup final, is how a fly-half performs on the back foot and he has something to work on.

"Farrell and Biggar can manage a game behind a struggling pack, so they'll be very important. Finn just gives you something very different. It would be fascinating to see him on a Lions tour from the start."
