Jake White says he turned down an interview with the IRFU. Probably true, though he has history in this area, having claimed to have been approached by the RFU for the England job.
Leinster look to Deans as Schmidt departure looms

In the article it suggests that Deans' agent has been throwing his CV around Europe, perhaps Dingo has accepted that the writing is on the wall.
Gatland on Rugby HQ tonight. "The Lions Squad will be announced on Tuesday".
He went from 11/1 to 1/7 in a few days, dont actually think the Fatman will take him. One man who'l be regretting those numbers is Declan Kidney, if he'd picked him after Sextons injury in the 6 nations he'd probably still have a job.
For whats its worth my backrow selection would be:
SOB, Lydiate, Wood, Tipuric, Armitage, Faletu, Heaslip
POC would be my captain, there isn't a better leader in the NH right now.

Love Lydiate as a player but to select him after just a handful of games would be a big risk Imho.
Agree with the rest of them apart from maybe Croft over Wood ? If he'd had a little more rugby Ben Morgan would've been on my shortlist too.

You have to admit the overwhelmingly largest issue with Wales on their tour down under was Priestland. He bombed many opportunities that would have lead to Wales winning at least one match and possibly two. Persisting with him was a huge mistake, and weren't they under Howley for the summer tour?
