There are a number of reasons a great player may never win a Test cap for Lions.

It can vary from the strength of competition in their position, injury issues or even - in Dylan Hartley and Alan Quinlan’s case - suspensions ruling them out.

Even to be named in the touring party and feature against provincial teams is a huge honour in a professional rugby players career.

All of the players on this list can be consider themselves very unlucky to never win a Test cap for the British and Irish Lions.

How many can you name in 15 minutes?
