Since the confirmation that Stuart Lancaster will be moving on from his senior coach position at Leinster in the summer, there have been a few obvious names linked with the position.
Some current players have perhaps jokingly suggested that Johnny Sexton could immediately move upstairs upon his retirement after the World Cup although that would seem a steep learning curve and they would need to devise a short-term fix for the first few months of next season before the tournament.
And while the Ireland captain stepping into the coaching void left by the highly thought of Lancaster would be quite a story, an even bigger one would be if his former fly-half rival Ronan O'Gara took the reins.
