    I was only joking about Gatland selecting Jamie Roberts, but some media are now reporting that he hasn't been included.

      Leaks I read were that JJ and JR are left behind with Ben Teo being included.

      I haven't seen anything from Teo that ranks him higher than an average Super Rugby level midfielder.

        Stuff is saying Payne is in. I haven't seen his name mentioned at all previously.

          Very late speculation that Jared Payne is in. We'll see shortly!

                @Crucial Looks like Payne, Joseph and Te'o are all in.

                      Predictable squad.

                      A mercenary and only one Scot.

                            Lucky: Biggar, Halfpenny, Nowell, Payne, Warburton (only because he's injured)..
                            Unlucky: Launchbury, Van der Flier, Russell

                            Otherwise, difficult to argue with, although that is not likely to stop me or anyone else.

                              So once again - more NZ-born representatives than Scot.

                                Moriarty would be the 41st player chosen I assume.

                                The fun starts when the team to play the Crusaders is named.

                                      @raznomore copped another huge suspension this year for foul play. Deemed too risky I guess.
