Should Gatland have trusted in BOD?

Stuart Barnes (Former Lion and Sky Sports analyst)

“It’s all about leadership. The Lions had Paul O’Connell, O’Driscoll and Sam Warburton. Now they have no real leadership. Gatland is saying you pick your best 15 and then work out who leads the team. That is not how it is and it’s not how New Zealand picked Richie McCaw. The captain is the crucial man in this team. Looking at the Lions team, I’m really concerned if it’s tight and the heat comes on after 60-65 minutes. There won’t be anyone to go to. Australia have captain James Horwill and scrum-half Will Genia — who do the Lions have?”
