Media caption, Maro Itoje named British and Irish Lions captainBritish and Irish Lions captain Maro Itoje says that he is now a better communicator and team-mate than when he toured New Zealand with the team as a "brash and naive" 22-year-old. Itoje was the youngest player on the 2017 trip, but came into the team after the Lions had lost the opening Test to the All Blacks and helped his side salvage a series draw with two superb performances.

On the Lions' last trip to Australia back in 2013, head coach Warren Gatland picked 15 Wales players in his initial squad. By the decisive third Test, he had 10 Welshmen in his starting XV. A little over a decade on, things are markedly different. After 17 defeats on the spin, Welsh representation is provided by only two players: flanker Jac Morgan and scrum-half Tomos Williams. It is the lowest number of Welshmen picked for a Lions squad in the modern era.

The setting is different. The 1,800-seater Indigo, a side room to London's O2 Arena, usually hosts concerts, comedy and podcast shows. On Friday, finalists from Indian Idol will play there. On Saturday, a George Michael tribute act has the floor. On Thursday, it will be decked out with giant screens and hundreds of fans. The aim is to create something akin to the NFL draft or a Uefa draw, with tension, intrigue, a touch of speechifying and some social media moments.

Nice moment this. With names read out in alphabetical order, Theo Dan knows that hearing Ben Earl's announced directly after Tom Curry means he himself has missed out. Still on his feet celebrating with his mate. https://t.co/57BDKNoWUS
