Well obviously there is no Boston or Radlinski... it is players he has played with at Wigan. When Radders was in the side he was only a kid and a subsistitute at best... i remember Radlinski coming to my primary school as a 18 year old as Robinson was making all the headlines i was like 'who's this guy?'... didnt play in the same team long enough tbh.
Wikipedia believes the coach is Ian McGeechan but also says he is Director of Rugby.

Because mainly thanks to Clive Woodward when he was in the England setup, the director role is based on match day and tactics preparation and doing the homework and general finances and the head coach is left to deal with match day, team talks and replacements.
This allows the game tactics throughout to be dealt with by Edwards, whilst Mcgeechan can analyise and plan from above. I don't agree with this completely and has undermined head coaches in other sports such as football. But what it does do, is take pressure off an already fairly demanding job. Inclusive to this is obviously training, finances, scouting etc.

Did anyone notice he was asked to pick his greatest XIII from those he played with at Wigan in the Sunday Times yesterday? For the record this was his team:-
1) Lydon
2) Gill
3) K Iro
4) D Bell
5) Offiah
6) Edwards (obviously)
7) Gregory
8) Skerrett
9) Dermott
10) Platt
11) West
12) Farrell
13) Hanley
Some interesting omissions, but I imagine he would say Fergie, Kenny and Miles didn't do much more than part of a season and the others made longer term contributions. Betts you could argue is unlucky but you can't really grumble at Faz and Westy. I imagine Brendan Barr is feeling a bit miffed though
brendan barr a good mate of mine was dragged up with him lol
