Not sure if this has quite been discussed already, but is anyone a tad worried that the old bean might be a trifle...past it? He had his heyday over 10 years ago now, the game has moved on since 1997. The game had barely turned professional by then! When you consider that Sir Clive Woodward looked over-the-hill in 2005, just two years after winning the World Cup, yet we assume that McGeechan has somehow still got it, and ignore the fact that the fellow has done absolutely nothing in the game for years.
I do hope I'm wrong and the spirit and attitude the old chap can bring can bond the players together to form a scratch side with the heart and organisation of a genuine team, but I fear that Geech, and possibly even the Lions as an amateur institution, might have had it's day.
I wouldn't pretend to have anyone else in mind to coach the side ahead of McGeechan, either.
