Brad Barritt was called out to join the 2013 Lions squad in Australia to act as midfield cover.
The Saracens centre was on holiday in Los Angeles when he got the call and made his debut against the Brumbies two days after arriving in Sydney.
His last game prior to the game in Canberra was in the Heineken Cup semi-final defeat against Toulon at Twickenham Stadium on 28 April.
His staunch tackling and organisation saw Barritt become the cornerstone of England’s defence under Stuart Lancaster.
On club duty, Barritt has enjoyed much success with Sarries, but his annus mirabilis came in the 2015/16 season as they scooped a league and cup double.
