European captain Luke Donald insists the defence of their Ryder Cup will not be "rinse and repeat" despite his team featuring an unprecedented 11 members of the victory from two years ago.

There were no real surprises in his selections of Jon Rahm, Shane Lowry, Viktor Hovland, Ludvig Aberg, Matt Fitzpatrick and Sepp Straka to join automatic qualifiers Masters champion Rory McIlroy, newly-crowned FedEx Cup winner Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, Bob MacIntyre and Tyrrell Hatton.
