Harry Ellis

Ellis's Lions call-up capped a memorable season for the Leicester Tigers player, who has already won an English Premiership medal and lost out in the Heineken Cup final against Leinster.

Though he has played second fiddle to French scrumhalf Julien Dupuy at club level, he was selected at number nine for England's Six Nations opener against Italy and celebrated with two tries.

Earned back-up slot behind Mike Phillips but never had the speed of service to be a viable alternative, finally winning his first and assuredly only Test cap as a second-half replacement in the final Test.
