2017: Dylan Hartley (England)
Ross Moriarty, Jared Payne and Tommy Seymour all received surprise call-ups, while Ken Owens and Rory Best were both included ahead of Hartley.
‘Dylan’s definitely one of the players who’s been unlucky; it’s probably not the best thing to be an England captain in a Lions year,’ said Gatland.
‘You’ve got to feel for him – he missed out in 2013 having been selected and he’ s unlucky to have missed out this time.”
