[QUOTE="BPM, post: 992869, member: 59968"] I’m not so sure. When Gatland was interviewed post RWC about which players he was excited to work with for the Lions, most of the players he name checked weren’t Welsh. Last time, it would have been difficult for him not to favour the Welsh players without creating significant fall-out. Now he doesn’t have that pressure. I can understand that it might have an influence if he’s making a marginal call between a player he’s worked with one he hasn’t, but he definitely he has a bit more freedom to make tight selection calls without bias.
