Departing All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has been thrown up as a contender to be the next man in charge of the British and Irish Lions.
On Friday Hansen announced he would be stepping down from his post at the end of next year's World Cup in Japan, and just what his next move will be, he said even he is unsure of.
But one possibility which has been tossed out there in the British press is that he could be an ideal candidate to lead the Lions' next tour, to South Africa in 2021.
British Writer, John Westerby anticipates Hansen possibly going into a consultancy role with an emerging nation such as Georgia, Samoa or Fiji, however he also sees a "mouthwatering possibility" in him leading the Lions.
