Versatile Daly savours ‘iconic’ Lions moment

Elliot Daly readily acknowledges that a British and Irish Lions squad announcement is one of rugby’s “iconic moments”.

The difference between this week’s squad unveiling and four years ago ahead of the Lions’ Australia tour, though, is that England star Daly should be among head coach Warren Gatland’s chosen 37 or 38 players.

And while Daly is preparing for a normal training day at his club Wasps’ base near Coventry tomorrow, he admits the live televised midday announcement can hardly go unnoticed.
