The Lions selection battle has only just begun. After Andy Farrell named a squad of 38 (or should that be 40?) to tour Australia this summer on Thursday, the next step is picking a starting team. The three-Test series against the Wallabies begins on July 19 in Brisbane, so who should start at Lang Park and lead the Lions to glory Down Under? Australia have won only one series against the Lions in the last 95 years, coming out on top 2-1 in 2001.

It would be more fitting if Antoine Dupont’s matchday kit included a mask and cape – or even a crown. Rugby’s superhero and Gallic king will grace Twickenham with his presence today, leaving England fans deeply conflicted, writes CHRIS FOY. Most spectators in the capacity crowd for Le Crunch will crave a Six Nations upset; an against-the-odds home win. But they will also pour into the stadium full of anticipation about the prospect of seeing an oval-ball icon at the peak of his powers.
