Six Nations: Sam Warburton, Billy Vunipola, George North and Sean O'Brien star in 'injured XV'

As has been the case in recent years, it's a XV that, on paper at least, would give any side a run for their money

It's that time of the year again when, with each side suffering from their fair share of injuries, we envision how a Six Nations 'injured XV' would line up for the Championship.

As has been the case in recent years, it's a XV that, on paper at least, would give any side a run for their money.

From Lions captain Sam Warburton to human wrecking ball Billy Vunipola, it's a team with plenty of physical prowess while the likes of Jonathan Davies and Wesley Fofana would bring some much-welcome panache to the side.

And with plenty of experience on offer, too, there's every chance that such a side could go the whole way in challenging for a Grand Slam title...
