Mike Whatamoron I say. "Someone's forgotten what Sir Clive did in 2003?" Don't patronise me Mike, let's refocus on the dubious legacy Sir Clive left English rugby. England are so stuck in 2003 they have resorted to employing Johnson to restore the glory days. Hardly a progressive step!! Clive Woodward laid the foundations for the disgrace that is English Rugby!!

Sir Clive totally devalued the special place that the Lions hold within the rugby world. Through picking half the premiership to tour New zealand. The Lions historically has been seen as the pinnacle in any players career. So now Andy Titteral and Oli Smith can claim to have reached the same level as Garth Edwards, Barry John and Willie John McBride. I am looking forward to Ian McGeechan restoring some pride to the noble institution of the British and Irish Lions.

refreshing? He¿s led it twice and toured as a player three times. But I do think he's the best man for the job, he knows what being a lion is all about. I think the lions could have one of the best teams ever. Their forwards especially could be class.

How refreshisng it is to see Ian McGeechan leading the Lions tour and hear himtalking about his plans after the shambles that "Sir" Clive Woodward put together. It is genuinely going to be exciting again with the Scot in charge. I just wonder that if Clive Woodward got his knighthood for services to Rugby etc. should he not have had it removed for making such an embarrasment of a great institution like the lions?
