The focus of the rugby world this summer will be on the British and Irish Lions tour of Australia. The success or failure of tour ultimately is judged on winning two out of three of the test matches but the process has already started with the evaluation of players and Lions legend Gavin Hastings gives his insights into the build-up.

Hastings, who nickname is Big Gav, is considered one of the best, if not the best, Scottish rugby player. He earned 61 caps for Scotland, 20 as captain, and played in two Lions tours, captaining the side on the 1993 tour to New Zealand.
