1. There are nine Irish Lions in total
They are Rob Kearney, Tommy Bowe, Brian O’Driscoll, Jonny Sexton, Conor Murray, Cian Healy, Paul O’Connell, Sean O’Brien and Jamie Heaslip.
2. But there’s disappointment for…
Rory Best, Simon Zebo, Peter O’Mahony and Donncha Ryan, none of who have made the cut.
3. Sam Warburton is the Tour captain
The 24-year-old Welsh skipper will lead the squad as a first-time tourist.
4. Unsurprisingly Wales have the most representatives
The 37-man squad is made up of 15 Welsh, 10 English, nine Irish and three Scots.
5. There’s no Jonny Wilkinson or Chris Robshaw
Sky Sports News are sorted for conversation topics for the rest of the day so.
6. Gatland has only picked two out-halves
Let’s hope that Sexton and Farrell stay injury-free for the summer so.
