Watch the Lions squad announcement live

Warren Gatland is set to spring some surprises today when he unveils his Lions squad to tour New Zealand this summer and there looks set to be winners and losers from Ireland at the London announcement at 12pm, writes Simon Lewis.

The long wait is over for nervous players from Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales as head coach Gatland names the players he believes can be the first Lions squad since 1971 to win a series against the All Blacks this summer.
