Depends on who's in your XV, surely? 
For me, I'd have
16. Youngs (Hibbard starting)
17. Corbisiero (Vunipola starting)
18. Cole (Jones starting)
19. Evans (POC/AWJ starting)
20. Warburton (SOB, Tipuric, Heaslip starting)
21. Youngs (Philips starting)
22. Farrell (Sexton starting)
23. Hogg (Zebo, North and Halfpenny starting)
Disclaimer: Not seen today's game yet, so my XV is based on previous.

16. Hibbard (Youngs has just pushed ahead)
17. Corbisiero
18. Cole (props are pretty clear I think)
19. Evans
20. Croft/Lydiate
21. Phillips
22. Twelvetrees (Will take my chances on Sexton doing full 80s. The Lions have looked noticeably worse with Farrell at 10 and I cannot think of a single scenario where I would want to bring him on for Sexton. Twelvetrees can slot into 10 if needed, but would also actually be a decent option to make an impact.)
