Who will make your Lions team?

Pick your British and Irish Lions XV to take on New Zealand in 2017
It's the toughest test in world rugby - playing New Zealand in their own back yard. And this is exactly what the Lions will be doing next year.
On the back of a disappointing World Cup for all the northern hemisphere teams, plus a distinctly average Six Nations, thoughts now turn to who might be selected to tackle the All Blacks.
Fortunately, when the might of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales is combined, a formidable team is formed, with competition for places strong in every position.
Former Ireland star Brian O'Driscoll is backing Wales coach Warren Gatland to lead the Lions in 2017, but that is far from a foregone conclusion. Who would you choose?
Put yourself in the shoes of Gatland, Joe Schmidt, Eddie Jones, Vern Cotter, or whoever may be chosen, and name your Lions starting XV to take on New Zealand on June 24, 2017, at Eden Park.
