[QUOTE="Count of Devonshire, post: 256090"] I'll stick my head on the old chopping board and suggest that it's highly improbable that Kidney will be the next Lions coach. Ireland will probably revert to mediocrity over the next couple of years, not that the particularly excelled high above that anyway. They'll not make any sort of impact in the tests they play against the SH, and most likely won't be able to repeat their 6N victory between now and then either. My problem with McGeechan isn't really a problem with him but rather a problem with the Lions. It's all well hoping for a successful tour on the back of small amounts of preparation and hopeful team bonding, but whether or not it'll work in this day and age is another matter. I can see the Lions being two tour whitewashes away from either redundancy or at the very least a drastic revamp. A Bokwash puts enormous pressure on 2013 in Australia, and if we fail there too then I'm not sure how much more life it has left in it's current format. [/QUOTE]
