Lions coach

[Daniel Richards]

The lions coach and set up will be named after the six nations . Personal I think it will be Gatland unless Ian McGeechan wants one last go ? Also will Bod be to old ?

I hope it's Declan Kidney and he selects a team full of non-Ireland players. That'll make his position as Ireland coach untenable and allow Joe Schmidt get our job.

Really though, it should be Warren Gatland although if I was Welsh, I'd be pretty ****** off that he'd park the Wales job for a year so he can coach a pointless British, Scottish* and Irish dream team.

*Will Scotland be independent by 2013?!

Ugh why are they refusing to pick McGeech? He's clearly the best option. Kidney is too conservative to be a Lions coach, Robinson is too much of a failure and there's too much bad blood between Gatland and everyone outside of Wales.

 

[Peat]

I believe the answer is he doesn't want it.

Not exactly done well for Bath, I wouldn't pick him if he was available, to be honest.

 

[Getofmeland]

It's a difficult choice this time round there is no outstanding candidates for the role... I think Geech has lost it a bit recently, Bath started off well, but they seem to have gone a bit of the rails in the recent weeks... Plus its going to take a coach out of a role for a year which isn't a good thing unless the money is good enough...

I remember Nick Mallet and Jake White's names being thrown around before.

 

[Seaton]

I'll be the first to say it then.



Phil Vickery.

Martin Johnson, obvlol.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Gatland or Mallet (maybe both?)

Hopefully not Kidney.

Ah well Kidney's a good man manager which is good for a big squad still wouldn't want him toiugh. I'll do it and be incredibly Irish biased a first for a Lions coach.

 

[Jockstap]

Has there ever been an Irish Lions coach?

 

[big ginger 8]

Don't think so has been 2 Irish managers I think.
