England's tame show in Ireland dims the Lions ambitions of several faltering stars

Daily Mail  

As a player, you would always know if someone like Warren Gatland is sat in the stands. Before Saturday's match, I had scribbled down a Lions XV that contained six England players. Few England players covered themselves in glory during the 32-18 Six Nations loss to Ireland Owen Farrell played his way out of the Lions XV following his performance against Ireland Every rugby player loves to natter about a Lions XV during bus journeys and lunch breaks and, for me, Owen Farrell, Jamie George and Ben Youngs all played their way out of the starting team. Younger guys normally come in to fill in for the Lions big dogs — although there may not be as many of those as Eddie had hoped for. Eddie knew Curry was a big prospect so he used Dylan to find out what he's like away from the pitch.
