Will Greenwood, Scott Quinnell, Rory Lawson and Alan Quinlan pick out their Lions XVs based on the weekend's Six Nations action.
It was an extraordinary third round of Six Nations action as Italy confused England with their ruck tactics on Sunday. England finally came right and ran out 36-15 winners to record their 17th consecutive win, but Italy's tactics certainly divided opinion.
In the other games, Scotland snapped a nine-game losing streak against Wales as two second-half tries clinched a 29-13 victory at Murrayfield, while Ireland overcame a poor start to defeat France 19-9 and keep their Six Nations title hopes alive.
But which players put their hand up for potential Lions selections in June? Our pundits pick their Lions XVs based on the weekend's games.
Scott Quinnell was impressed with Ireland and selected six players from their win including their half-backs and their centres. While none of their back row make the team, Quinnell was impressed and said he could have picked them all. However, Hamish Watson's and Ryan Wilson's superb efforts against Wales could not be ignored.
Alan Quinlan also opted for Conor Murray and Johnny Sexton, but it was England's midfield partnership who caught his eye while Mako Vunipola's impact off the bench also impressed.
Will Greenwood has opted for Finn Russell at No 10 after his sublime performance against Wales. Scotland centre Alex Dunbar also makes the cut and like Scott Quinnell, he has opted for Wilson at No 8.
Scotland's Jonny Gray combines with Joe Launchbury in the second row in Rory Lawson's team but there is no place for any of the Scotland backrow as he has opted for Ireland's trio. Fraser Brown is also in the side and joins Jack McGrath and Tadhg Furlong in the front row. Scotland are also well represented in the backs with their back three joining fly-half Finn Russell.
