British and Irish Lions

Wasps director of rugby McGeechan could return to the role of Lions head coach which he held in 1989, 1993 and 1997.

And Robinson, now coaching Edinburgh, claims the 61-year-old Scot is perfect for the role.

Robinson described McGeechan as "an outstanding choice" for the position, and added: "I think he's a quality coach. His depth of knowledge and understanding of the game in all its facets - attack, defence, set-piece - is just phenomenal."

McGeechan led the Lions to series victories over Australia and South Africa, either side of a 2-1 series defeat in New Zealand. Sir Clive Woodward's Lions were whitewashed 3-0 in New Zealand in 2005.

Scotland coach Frank Hadden has revealed he could have a role to play with the Lions in two years' time.

He said: "I have been asked if I am available for the Lions, and of course I am.

"It would be an honour to be involved."

The role of tour manager for the three-Test series against the world champion Springboks has been filled by Wales legend GerGerald Davies, while Scot Andy Irvine was named as chairman of the Lions board.

Lions skipper Sam Warburton says the lessons he and his Welsh colleagues learnt in Australia last summer will stand them in good stead for their return visit with Britain and Ireland's elite next month.

Tom Youngs has enjoyed a remarkable rise to the top of the British & Irish game but he won't be resting on his laurels ahead of his first Lions adventure.
