It's an interesting one this, but I think it's a definite goer.
Just ask yourself: who else is there?
Not Brian Ashton, not Frank Hadden. Eddie O'Sullivan? On current evidence I wouldn't touch him with a bargepole if I was a Lions powerbroker.
There is no momentum with him at present, all he is doing is presiding over a waning Irish team.
You don't give it to O'Sullivan just because you think he has served his time and it is his turn.
Jake White? Well, he's a World Cup winner but what experience does he have working with British players and in the British game?
Ian McGeechan? Great rugby man and he's been there and done it before, but surely he's yesterday's man.
For me, it's Gatland every time. He is the arch-decision maker, the disciplinarian, and he comes as a package with the brilliant Shaun Edwards.
Get him in there, I say.
How about you?
