Gatland did do very well in largely picking players on merit rather than nationality. Weirdly Sir Clive picked on both merit and nationality and that failed miserably. Basically it's a very tricky job.
Based on the 6Ns just gone you probably wouldn't pick many Irish players to be honest, but there has to be a longer term view than that.
Anyway...most of us won't have heard of most of the squad when the Lions are next picked. Dombrandt will definitely be captain though.
Alun Wyn in for his 4th tour. Long live the king.
