Don't know if I'd be trilled with Eddie Jones he always struck me as a better no. 2 then a number 1. If you look at his record it seems to back me up.

Of the three Pat Lam would be my favourite.

Ah, you're right, it was Scott Johnson I was thinking of

Still not too sure about Holley though, that was an absolutely sensational Ospreys squad they had a couple of years ago yet they often seemed to play within themselves

thats johnson who replaced holley at ospreys. holley won 2 uf not 3 leagues with ospreys and now does analysis with scrum 5 on bbbcw . hes very good in tbhat job. and is most successful coach in wales club game afaik. hed be a very good pick.

im surprised eddie hasnt at least gotten an interview. he must have thrown his hat in ring for scotland as well or something.

From todays Indo:

www.independent.ie/sport/rugby/heineken-...ullivan-3323241.html

Not exactly overwhelmed about Holley or Hanks tbh... Isn't Holley supposed to stay on as interim Scotland manager

Lam could be a good choice though, I don't know much about King, but is going for a Clermont backs coach asking lightning to strike twice?

Indeed, a good CV isn't a guarantee of anything...

Edinburgh won this wknd which will throw Bradley a lifeline for the moment. I think Robinson would suit us but it's all guessing for the mo.

If Robinson was in the mix we'd be mad not to have a good look at him. I don't think he'll have any interest in the job but he did very well at Bath and Edinburgh. Didn't do well with England but thought he did ok at Scotland. They are a poor side and I find it hard to imagine they'll get more than a short term bounce from a new coach.
