LONDON - British and Irish Lions head coach Warren Gatland believes the 2011 World Cup has demonstrated that selecting a large number of England players for this year's tour to Australia will result in unwanted media attention.
England's position at the top of the Six Nations table — they are the only team still capable of winning a Grand Slam — indicates they will be well represented Down Under.
And while Gatland stresses "the best players will be selected", he fears the English come with their own baggage.
