# Rugby: Irish and English players make out the bulk of the British and Irish Lions’ squad for this year’s tour of Australia. Captain Maro Itoje is joined by 12 other players from England, while Ireland has 15 players in the group. Scotland is represented by eight players, while Wales’ 17th successive Test losses is reflected by the fact that only two of its players made the cut – captain Jac Morgan and scrumhalf Tomos Williams. South African-born Scottish players Duhan van der Merwe and Pierre Schoeman were also included.
