The Lions squad pod with Itoje and Farrell

Chris and Ugo chat to Maro Itoje and Andy Farrell at the Lions squad announcement.

We are at the O2 for the Lions squad announcement. Fresh from presenting the show, Ugo s Chris to dissect the 38-man squad. Andy Farrell talks through his selection and why he decided to take Henry Pollock on tour and make Maro Itoje captain. Marcus Smith, Fin Smith and Finn Russell are on the plane, but could there be another fly-half added further down the line? Meanwhile Itoje sits down with us to reveal all the details about the captain’s dinner and why he feels now is the right time to be leading the Lions.
