"I’m too old for playing, I think… All that [Lions talk] would be hypothetical I think. Being involved with Glasgow is going to take up all my time."Sources from other 'home nation' unions are not best pleased with what they see as a manufactured race for the Lions job. It has to see like a much coveted job but other national coaches can smell a foregone conclusion when they see one. Asked if he was happy going to New Zealand, next summer, under Gatland, Welsh flanker Dan Lydiate tried not to give anything away. "Well, it all depends whether you get picked, doesn't it? "His record speaks for itself - [South Africa forwards coach in] 2009 and obviously winning in Australia in 2013. He's got good credentials but I guess you have to wait and see. No-one knows until it is announced... "He has been there and done it. He knows what it takes to win a Test Series. Who knows? I'm not on the selection panel but it can't have done him any worse for wear, with how they did in 2013 and how they conducted themselves in 2009." Who knows. Lots of people seem to have a pretty good idea. Just act surprised when September 7 rolls around.
