Yeah, sure. It's hard to argue that the selections of AWJ and Warburton aren't somewhat indicative of nepotism.
They are both fine players, but neither have been the best in their position on tour, thus far. It seems a contentious selection will always go to the player he has coached. Warburton has been injured, and out of form. AWJ has been inferior to Lawes, Hendo and Itoje (plus Kruis, for the most part, last game not-withstanding).
But then, they do bring a wealth of experience and leadership....
