Who would Kidney have picked if he was named Lions Head Coach...?
Just thinking that when DK was in the mix for Lions head coach Ireland were doing well enough but then that 6N Ireland slipped up badly and he lost out.
He has since shown very little in the way of being an excellent coach (flying Paddy in to NZ, picking ROG on the bench continuously, not demanding a specialised new backs coach) and I am wondering what sort of team people would think he'd have picked.....
For the record I'd go with....
Forwards Coach: Antony Foley
Backs Coach: Joe Schmidt
Defence Coach: Shaun Edwards
Healy-Hartley-Jones
POC-Ryan
Lydiate-Falateau-Robshaw
Philips-Sexton
Roberts-O'Driscoll
Earls-Kearney-North
Ford-Sheridan-Murray-Gray-Waurburton-Murray-O'Gara-Bowe
Ok so that was a bit tongue in cheek but the main point of this article is this: does anyone regret Kidney not getting the Lions job?
