With the British and Irish Lions Tour fast approaching, and the squad announcement just a week away, Angus and Will take inspiration from the hypothetical 2021 British and Irish Lions Cubs Squad and pick a 2025 team!

Their criteria was simple - players had to have left school and be no older than 21, be British and Irish qualified!

Once Andy Farrell has named his squad - we'll name a full squad as well, matching the numbers!

Who would you select? And would you like to see a 'Cubs' tour happen?!
