The Battle for the Lions 7 Jersey is Fascinating

2 rounds into the 6N has me absolutely fascinated by the competition to be the starting 7 for the Lions as we've seen some stellar recent performances

Josh Van Der Flier is the frontrunner and it's hard to describe just how good he is. A consistent 8+ out of 10 every single week. So rounded and so consistent

Jac Morgan is the shining light in a dire Wales side, leads by example. His work rate and involvements give him carrying and tackling stats that are off the charts. Also a leadership option as captain of his country

Tom Curry epitomises a big game player. He was absolutely everywhere for England yesterday. In the biggest games he steps up. Test match animal. He'll bring some of that POM energy to the Lions

Ben Earl has been one of England's best players in the last few years and brings a different option to the 7 jersey as basically offering a second 8 given how good his carrying is

Rory Darge is another 7 who is captaining his country. He had a phenomenal game against Italy and was pretty solid against Ireland too. Excellent at the breakdown and seems a strong carrier too

Jack Willis is loved and adored at Toulouse. Probably the best jackler on this list and arguably has the best club form of all the options listed

I could see any of these 6 wearing the red 7 jersey in the summer. And this is by no means an exhaustive list of options either.

The strength in depth for the Lions in this position is frightening. The possibility that some of these 6 won't even make the plane is absolutely wild to me
