Joe Worsley

He's been around the block, has Joe, but this will be his first Lions Tour.

The versatile backrow made his England debut in the 1999 World Cup and won the prize under Clive Woodward in 2003. He was still making an impact in the 2007 tournament, when he denied Vincent Clerc a near certain try to guide the chariot into another final.

He was no less influential in this year's Six Nations and was one of the few English players to emerge with credit from a disappointing campaign. Worsley's rare work ethic was typified by the astonishing 15 tackles he made agaimst Ireland and 17, not to mention scoring a try, against France

However, the 31-year-old has his work cut to make the test team and was largely anonymous against the Royal XV.
