Wales coach Warren Gatland says it's too late to cull some of the old guard from his team, hinting that previous coach Wayne Pivac should have acted sooner to move on some senior stars.
Gatland has named four uncapped players in his 37-man squad for the Six Nations in an attempt to balance youth and experience ahead of his second stint in the job. He had previously mentioned balancing the age-profile of the squad, with several players over the age of 30.
However, a string of high-profile casualties never seemed likely, with Gatland suggesting it was too late before this year's World Cup in France to be overlooking experienced players.
