Row brewing as Lions hunt for head coach

THE British and Irish Lions’ tour of Australia may be three years away, but a row is already breaking out about who will lead them down under.

After Ian McGeechan’s stellar leadership of last summer’s tour to South Africa, there were always going to be big boots to fill.

But at yesterday’s announcement that the Lions will play the tour opener in Hong Kong against the Barbarians, it became clear the selection of the next head coach will be a difficult task.
