Some interesting pieces in the press today about Stuart Lancasterthe most interesting of which is an offer to act as manager from Moore. His suggestion is not as daft as it sounds because although he is a terrible pundit he has vast knowledge of international rugby, is highly intellegent, does not suffer fools and has a very fine legal brain and could be the perfect manager for Lancaster. He is also a fellow Yorkshireman which may well help says me a Lancastrian. Then if Farrell could not be moved from sarries Mike Catt may well be a great attack and backs coach for too many reasons to go into.
Just a thought.
I think the RFU would be fools to not hire Dave Ellis as defence coach, in a typical case of you dont know what you have till its gone, the French must be regretting not renewing his contract! Also, i think Catt should be attack coach, or either the attack coaches of Glaws or Quins (sorry, i have no idea who they are), with both of those guys working under Farrell.
In terms of an Ireland-style manager, i think it should be some former international who has a fantastic managerial record in his post-rugby career. In terms of examples, im afraid i dont have any!
