As you’ll know there has been a lot of uncertainty surrounding the seasonal interpros, so it’s probably just as well that we’ve recently started our Lions Selector Panel which means we can use the pod to look ahead to rugby that we hopefully have to look forward to in the future.  This week I introduced my second panellist Mark Jackson; as well as his picks for the first test he also went through the leading candidates for Warren Gatland's assistant coaches on the tour, and we also discussed how the upcoming Rainbow Cup can be beneficial for all involved.
