Lions 2025 squad announced: Maro Itoje named captain as Henry Pollock gets the nod
The Lions squad for the 2025 tour of Australia has been announced.
Maro Itoje has been named as the captain, becoming the first person of colour to hold the armband. The England skipper emerged as the clear frontrunner for the role after Ireland’s Caelan Doris suffered a shoulder injury which has ruled him out of the tour.
