Clive goes for Alun Wyn

SIR Clive Woodward has opted for Alun Wyn Jones to captain the Lions over England and Saracens second-row Maro Itoje.

Writing in his Daily Mail column, he said: “Of the two, I would unquestionably opt for the Wales skipper – which says everything about Jones as there is no bigger fan of Maro than me.

“If he takes that form into the Lions series he will be one of the first names on the team sheet.”

The Lions squad is announced tomorrow, with Jones favourite to be named captain.
