Lions - Six Nations 2025 Auditions

[Lé Ddanno]

Maybe we'll keep attacking on the Arg tour

Interesting Paul O'Connell declined offer. Explains switch with Easterby

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

So confirmed coaching team is
Andy Farrell (Ireland)
John Dalziel (Scotland)
Simon Easterby (Ireland)
John Fogarty (Ireland)
Andrew Goodman (Ireland)
Richard Wigglesworth (England)

Big L from Farrell bringing Wigglesworth.

Upskilling the attack coach of our biggest rivals of the UK teams isn't a high IQ move.

What's Wigglesworth even gonna be doing? Box kicking coach?

Farrell was always going to buy into the ethos of it again. But my lenses will remain green!

It's a flex isn't it, like using your phone a friend to tell them you're about to win a million.

"You might be wondering why I've brought you Wiggy, but rumour is you make a killer brew"

So...

Farrell - Head Coach
Easterby - Defence Coach
Daizel - Forwards Coach
Fogarty - Scrum Coach
Goodman - Attack Coach
Wigglesworth - ? (Kicking/Backs/waterboy?)

Interesting that Daizel is picked as forwards coach considering Scotland's forwards are probably the weakest part of the team and get bullied too often, but maybe that's just the players.

I'd say Wigglesworth is attack coach with Farrell and Goodman will work purely on strikeplays. That's what he did well at Leinster under Lancaster, has always struggled when given the reigns to the attack as a whole.

I feel england fans massively underrate Wigglesworth tbh

His attack plan when he became head coach of tigers for half the season was top class.

His biggest flaw is he is prob too loyal to his Friend too push back enough. But I think he's a massively all rounded backs coach
