Martyn Williams

Despite touring with the 2001 and 2005 Lions, Williams has made just one appearance for the test side when he came on as a replacement in the third and final match in New Zealand four years ago.

And it would appear the supremely gifted openside's prospects depend very much on what sort of game-plan the Lions adopt this time around.

An excellent link man, Williams has the handling skills and turn of foot to prosper in the wide open spaces while his pilfering skills at the breakdown secure a steady stream of possession.

Struggled to impose himself against the Royal XV and did his Test prospect no favours.
