According to the latest reports Ian McGeechan could possilbly return as Lions coach for the 2013 tour to Australia following his narrow 2-1 tests defeat against South Africa last year. McGeechan had ruled himself out of contention for the role but tour manager Andy Irvine still feels that he is a prime candidate because he has similarly discounted himself from the role before!
The other leading candidate for the position is current Wales coach Warren Gatland but Sky Sports quotes Gatland as saying that whilst "It's theoretically possible to coach the Lions and be the head coach of a national side in the Six Nations immediately prior, …it's unlikely”.
Much is likely to be dependent on how well Gatland does with Wales over the next few years and this year’s 6 Nations is likely to be as tightly contested as ever.
