Gatland also confirmed what his starting back row would be for Wednesday's game against the Cell C Sharks - Tom Curry, Josh Navidi and Sam Simmonds.
With Simmonds locking down the No.8 jersey - and getting a chance after Jack Conan and Toby Faletau - it remains to be seen who is handed the 6 and 7 jerseys. Curry and Navidi are versatile back-rows so Gatland may go with the England star at openside.
So far, 10 players have yet to start a game. Barring any training ground mishaps, that means Mako Vunipola, Luke Cowan Dickie, Zander Fagerson, Adam Beard, Josh Navidi, Tom Curry, Sam Simmonds, Gareth Davies, Elliot Daly and Anthony Watson will all start.
We have taken a look at the squad, the minutes played and combinations to draw up a likely Lions XV for their next outing. The players in bold have not started on tour yet.
