Lions star tipped to become British Prime Minister and silence Donald Trump
British and Irish Lions captain Maro Itoje has been tipped to one day succeed Keir Starmer in 10 Downing Street. Former England head coach Eddie Jones believes the lock will one day be Prime Minister and silence talk of Donald Trump’s exploits in the US.
Itoje will lead out the Lions during their tour of Australia this summer. The 30-year-old has been the England captain since January, when he replaced Jamie George. He almost led Steve Borthwick’s side to a surprise Six Nations victory, but they were pipped by France. Jones wrote in 2021 that Itoje was unsuited to captaincy, claiming the second-row was “very inward-looking” and did not “usually influence people off the field”.
