They were the two main locks in the successful Lions tour of New Zealand (for those of you who don't know, the Lions drew the series with the All Blacks 1-1, which is their second best result there after the 1971 Lions, who actually won the series).

Alun Wyn Jones is on the left, Maro Itoje is on the right.

Itoje.

Itoje has a phenotype that is not common but present, Jones have a very British phenotype and would be guessed as ''gringo'' immediately.

If the comparison was something like Itoje vs someone like Sean Connery I would say the latter is more common.

Jones have the stereotypical Anglo look (for Brazilians) and would not pass in Brazil imo.

Would Jones not even pass in the South among the German-descended Brazilians?

Maybe. But his phenotype is not common there as well.
