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.

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

Lucky: Biggar, Halfpenny, Nowell, Payne, Warburton (only because he's injured)..
Unlucky: Launchbury, Van der Flier, RussellOtherwise, difficult to argue with, although that is not likely to stop me or anyone else.

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

A quota on the number of NZ born players?

@KiwiMurph see hes a guy you pick just because of that. Its a huge fucken squad so they can risk it. You want a guy that is a loose cannon, a grub, but also somehow manages to get the team together. I hate Hartley but a record run and a 6N under his belt and watch warrants selection.
