When Warren Gatland opted to pick 13 Ospreys in his first match in charge of Wales 15 years ago, he did, in fairness, have good reason to do so.
The Swansea side were at the peak of their Galaticos powers, on their way to an EDF Energy Cup triumph and stacked with talent. So Gatland understandably saw fit to lean on them more than most during that victory over England that paved the way for a Grand Slam.
There was a simplicity to it that, in many ways, summed up what Gatland's time with Wales was about. Never trying to put the cart before the horse, as we've grown accustomed to in recent years.
