The Welsh Rugby Union has announced it is changing their Senior Players Selection Policy [SPSP], more commonly known as Gatland's Law.

Under the old law, Wales head coach Warren Gatland was able to pick three overseas based players for international duty, while it was set to increase to four players for the upcoming season.

Monday's announcement now sees Wales following a similar model to Australia -- whereby players who have made 60 Test appearances or more will be available for international selection regardless of where they ply their trade at club level.

Taulupe Faletau, George North and Jamie Roberts fit the criteria with the trio all having played over 60 caps and are now based in England.
